Job Description

Your function

The successful candidate will develop and apply Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) methodologies to advance drug discovery projects. Their work will focus on improving the molecular understanding of ligand-protein interactions and translating these insights into the design of novel small-molecule, drug-like compounds.Β 

The candidate will join a well-integrated, multidisciplinary team and help guide ongoing drug synthesis and biological screening activities. The results are expected to lead to publications in high-quality scientific journals and to contribute to the specific goal of developing new medicines for Alzheimer’s disease.

Your profile

  • Being able to understand and predict ligand-protein interactions and translate the molecular understanding into structure-activity relationships and structure-kinetics relationships.
  • Experience in fragment-based drug design and structure-based drug design and developing ...
