About the job
At Genesis Molecular AI, we are assembling a premier computational chemistry team dedicated to transforming drug discovery through state-of-the-art machine learning and biophysical simulations. We invite applications for the role of Principal CADD Scientist, who will collaborate closely with our scientists in the advanced wet lab and our distributed computational chemistry and CADD teams located across the United States.
Key Responsibilities
Employ a mix of industry-leading and proprietary AI-driven CADD tools to steer small molecule drug discovery projects across a wide array of targets, including innovative targets with limited chemical precedents.
Implement methodologies such as virtual screening, molecular simulation, and ADMET prediction to facilitate critical decision-making during the drug discovery process.
Work in tandem with medicinal chemists in molecular design and the formulation of project-specific computational strategies.
Serve as an effective liaison among the computational and medicinal chemistry teams, ensuring smooth communication and collaborative decision-making.
Thrive in a fast-paced environment that champions innovation and rapid iteration.
Qualifications
Ph. D. in Computational Chemistry, Structural Biology, or a closely related discipline. Candidates with a Ph. D. in organic or medicinal chemistry and substantial laboratory experience transitioning to industry roles in CADD may also be considered.
Comprehensive understanding of structure-based drug design and protein-ligand interactions.
Expertise in industry-standard CADD software such as MOE, PyMOL, and Schrödinger Suite.
A minimum of 5 years of experience as a CADD scientist in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology sector, with direct involvement in active drug discovery projects.
While onsite collaboration in our San Diego lab is preferred, we are open to accommodating remote team members.
