That's why we are always looking for curious minds that see themselves imagining the unimaginable with us.



Your Role:


As a Sr. Scientist in AI and Computational Chemistry, you will play a key role in shaping up the AI-enabled Drug Discovery (AIDD) project that aims at the total drug discovery solution from design to delivery. You will work closely with other scientists employing artificial intelligence and machine-learn (AI/ML) techniques to increase the efficiency of the design-make-test-cycle on drug discovery projects.



You will be responsible for:

• Building the computational chemistry design engine for drug discovery based on ML/AL and other computational techniques


• Hypothesis driven molecule design based on multiparameter optimization


• Curating structure-activity-relationship (SAR) datasets and building predictive models


• Keeping up with the latest development in computational chemistry and machine-driven drug discovery in publications and implementing new techniques


• Applying ML/AL on the traditional computational chemistry approaches in molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics, protein folding, etc.


• Analyzing complex problems in AIDD and articulating solutions based on ChemInformatics and AI/ML approaches

Location: This is a hybrid flexible position which requires presence in our Billerica facility.



Who You Are:




Minimum Qualifications:

• PhD (or BSc. / MSc.) in chemistry, computational chemistry or related scientific/technical field


• At least 5 years of drug discovery experience in a pharmaceutical or biotech research environment.


• Have an excellent working knowledge in computational chemistry, drug-discovery process, and ChemInformatics


• Experience in data analysis, AI/ML, physics-based techniques and programming e.g. Python


• Able to build AI/ML models for SAR endpoints starting from raw data


• Understand basic medicinal chemistry principles applied to drug discovery projects.


• Be curious and innovative with a strong desire to revolutionize the drug-discovery process


• Excellent verbal and written communication skills


• Work collaboratively with others within the team and cross functionally
