Hi Matt,

 

I am writing to see if you can help me out here. Recently I was fortunate to get an internal Pfizer postdoctoral fellowship funded to investigate PPI targets by molecular dynamics simulations. Specifically, the goals are to expand the current understanding of the complex dynamic phenomena of many biological mechanisms, and to make traditionally difficult targets an increasingly fruitful drug discovery area.

 

I am hoping you may be able to provide suggestions for candidates from your institution or elsewhere where there may be an overlapping interest or experience in this research area. Clearly experience in scientific scripting and programming is essential. The Postdoctoral fellowship is for 2 years with a possible extension to 3 years and is to be focused on generating publishable work (i.e. not constrained by Pfizer drug discovery activities) through internal studies as well as collaborations within and outside of Pfizer. This could be a great opportunity for people who want to gain industrial experience in a real drug discovery setting. I have attached a copy of the recruitment flyer. Online application can be submitted through the link from Pfizer careers website.  http://pfizercareers.com/apply  Job ID 994031

 

Any help or guidance that you can provide would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Li
