- Contribute to the further development of Vertex’s computational chemistry capabilities with a focus on physics-based method (e.g. FEP, ABFE, QM)
- Use timely decision making to ensure focus and delivery of key project objectives. Promote high levels of productivity and urgency
- Proactively work with other computational chemists and cheminformaticians to assess and develop new computational methodologies, create workflows and share successful methods
- Seek out opportunities to improve Vertex’s global R&D capabilities through collaboration with DMPK, Structural Biology, safety assessment, and other groups
Knowledge and Skills:
- In depth knowledge of physics-based methods and the state-of-the-art in computational chemistry and their application in drug discovery
- Experience with commercial and/or open-source molecular modeling and data mining software
- Knowledge of concepts related to drug discovery and development
- Strong solution-oriented attitude, spirit of innovation and creativity, good time and priority management
- Scripting and programming expertise in languages such as Python
- Excellent interpersonal, communication and presentation skills
Education and Experience:
- Ph.D in Computational Chemistry or related discipline or equivalent combination or education and experience.
- Post-doctoral employment and experience in drug discovery is required
- Experience in applying a wide array of molecular modeling methods to structure, ligand and fragment-based drug discovery projects
In this Hybrid-Eligible role, you can choose to be designated as:
Hybrid: work remotely up to two days per week; or select On-Site: work five days per week on-site with ad hoc flexibility.
