Applications Scientists work on applying Schrodinger's computational chemistry software to address challenging problems in drug discovery. The position also involves the development of new computational methods for drug discovery, scientific publications, and helping customers with using Schrodinger software. Responsibilities include drug discovery project support, engaging in scientific discussions with customers, giving presentations at conferences, demonstrating optimal use of the software, and providing customer training. Applications Scientists gain familiarity with our entire suite of structure-based and ligand-based software, including packages for docking, molecular simulations, homology modeling, pharmacophore modeling, cheminformatics, and quantum mechanics. A strong background in molecular modeling and computational chemistry with application to biological problems is highly desired. Exceptional communication skills, an outgoing personality, and a willingness to travel are required. Experience working on drug discovery projects is highly desirable. *Requirements:* - Ph.D. in computational chemistry or biophysics plus experience with pharmaceutical applications of molecular modeling software tools - Excellent interpersonal, communication, and organizational skills - Strong problem-solving ability - A broad knowledge of molecular modeling theory and applications - Ability to conduct independent research *Preferred:* - Post-doctoral research and/or relevant experience in the commercial sector - Biologics modeling and *in silico *protein engineering - Python programming experience If you know anyone looking to join my super amazing team, please have them contact me directly. Anyone from your group would be great!
