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 learning (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 AI/ML and other computational techniques
• Hypothesis-driven molecular 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 AIDD in publications and implementing new techniques
• Applying AI/ML 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
