Senior Computational Research Scientist

The Senior Computational Research Scientist leads, performs, and develops computational research projects under minimal supervision.
The Department of Chemical Biology and Therapeutics (CBT) is seeking a highly motivated computational chemist interested in using state-of-the-art techniques in computer-aided drug design, virtual screens, and structure-guided drug design to discover novel small molecule modulators of targets relevant to pediatric disease. The applicant is expected to work alongside domain experts in the biology of pediatric disease, chemists, and pharmacologists, as well as the various institutional shared resources devoted to translational science, in a collaborative project team environment.
The applicant must have a strong background in computational chemistry, including molecular dynamics simulations, molecular docking, pharmacophore modeling, quantitative structure activity relationship modeling, and chemical informatics. The applicant must also be comfo...
