— Matt Begin forwarded message: From: Vickie Tsui <Vickie.Tsui(a)gilead.com<mailto:Vickie.Tsui@gilead.com>> Subject: open position in Gilead's modeling group Date: November 17, 2020 at 1:03:43 PM PST To: "Matt.Jacobson(a)ucsf.edu<mailto:Matt.Jacobson@ucsf.edu>" <Matt.Jacobson(a)ucsf.edu<mailto:Matt.Jacobson@ucsf.edu>> Hi Matt, It has been a long time since we talked, and I hope you and your family are doing well in spite of the crazy time. I wanted to let you know that our Modeling Group at Gilead has an opening currently. We are a group of 7 modelers (one just left last week – hence the open position), and we work closely with the other two groups (crystallography and informatics) in the Department of Structural Chemistry. We are parallel with the Medicinal Chemistry and Biology departments, and work closely with them on project teams. Modelers are involved from the target conception stage all the way to delivering a development candidate, and also have opportunities to be Core Team members or even to lead a project. Please feel free to pass this information on to your group, or to recommend specific people in your lab. My email isVickie.tsui(a)gilead.com<mailto:Vickie.tsui@gilead.com>, and my number is 650-534-8426. Thank you very much - I hope you take care and stay healthy. Best Regards, Vickie Vickie Tsui, Ph.D. Senior Director, Structural Chemistry Gilead Sciences, Inc. (650)653-9447
