* You will be expected to plan, write and publish high quality scientific papers
Essential for the role
In this key role you will bring your solid computational chemistry experience to the drug discovery project portfolio. We are looking for a drug hunter with a PhD (or equivalent experience) in computational chemistry and industry experience from drug design, biophysics or related field. You have a high degree of independence and a proven record of excellence in a number of computer-aided drug design techniques to assist in target identification and advancement of discovery programs. In addition you will have:
* Solid knowledge of computer-aided drug design and modern medicinal chemistry.
* Expertise in using standard computational chemistry software.
* Ideally experience of computational chemistry applied to new modalities (e.g. peptides, PROTACs or oligonucleotides).
* Expertise in biophysics, structural modeling and methods to study protein dynamics.
* Knowledge in scientific computing, and programming skills (e.g. Python) is an advantage.
* Expertise in machine-learning methods is a plus.
* Excellent communication skills in English is required.
If you have the ability to influence both people and science and thrive on team work in a multidisciplinary environment, you will fit right in at AstraZeneca!
