Dear Boris,
Happy New Year – I hope you are doing well.
I am writing to you, because we have an open position in my Department for a scientist interested in structure-guided protein design. Unfortunately, Ole Olsen, our very experienced and creative molecular modeler, had decided to retire. Therefore, we are looking to fill his position. The candidate profile is listed in the Job Ad where you can also find a description of our Department (as we see it J).
I would very much appreciate, if you would please share the link with your network of former students, colleagues, and friends. You can link directly to LinkedIn and other media from the ad:

It will be hard to replace Ole, but now the search has started. Please let me know, if I can further elaborate on the Department or the profile of the ideal candidate.
Kind regards, Hanne
Molecular Modelling - Experienced Scientist Research & Development
Denmark - Måløv
The Department of Haemophilia Biochemistry is seeking an experienced scientist for structure-guided protein optimization and design
About the Department Haemophilia Biochemistry is an integral part of the Novo Nordisk haemophilia research area in Global Research located in Måløv. We are a diverse department with 22 enthusiastic scientists, research assistants, and students who all support the haemophilia research portfolio through innovation and structure-guided design and development of novel protein-based therapies. The department has a solid base of expertise in haemostasis biology, mode of action studies, protein chemistry, enzyme assays, protein-ligand interaction studies, and molecular modelling.
The Job This is a dynamic and challenging position in an innovative discovery department with many cross-functional activities in project teams and focus groups. Ambitious scientific goals will require collaboration with highly specialized colleagues. Your main focus will be structure-guided design and development of novel protein therapeutic candidates as well as proteins with improved biological, formulation, and pharmacological properties. Your responsibilities will include generation of protein homology models, advanced data mining and analysis, and molecular dynamics calculations in interpretation of experimental data (structure and biology). You will have the opportunity to influence your own development and grow into a key role in an exciting and diverse discovery department.
Qualifications As a key member of a discovery research team, the ideal candidate has extensive experience in in silico structure-guided design and optimization of protein based therapies, and can combine structural and computational research with experimental data. The candidate holds a PhD and at least three years of documented post-doctoral experience in structural biology or molecular modelling. Experience could include one or more of the following: simulation and visualizing packages, homology modelling, protein-structure prediction, calculation of protein-protein energetics, and/or docking software. Research experience in large-scale data mining and analysis, bioinformatics, and using computational and/or statistical approaches is a plus. The candidate must be fluent in English, have excellent communication skills, a collaborative mind-set, and a passion for innovation.
Contact For further information about this position, please contact Hanne Grøn at (+45) 3079 0765
Deadline 15-Feb-2014
