Description du poste

We are seeking a Senior Scientist to join our Protein & Vector Engineering team, contributing to cutting‑edge research in structural bioinformatics, computational chemistry, and AI‑driven drug design.

This role plays a key part in advancing computational drug design (CDD) across biologics, chemistry, and genomics programmes. You will work closely with senior scientists and cross‑functional teams to develop and apply innovative computational approaches for 3D structure prediction, molecular modelling, and protein/antibody design.

What this role offers

• Senior‑level ownership of computational strategy and execution
• Exposure to AI‑ and computation‑driven drug discovery programmes
• A collaborative, multidisciplinary environment across protein engineering, genomics, and data science
• Opportunity to contribute to publications, patents, and platform development

Key responsibilities

• Lead computational strategies for drug design, molecular modelling, and structural bioinformatics
• Design and execute advanced workflows (MD, QM, protein & antibody design, AI/ML‑driven CDD)
• Mentor junior scientists and support technical development
• Build and maintain robust, reproducible in‑house computational pipelines
• Collaborate with internal teams and external partners

What you’ll bring

• PhD in a relevant computational or life sciences discipline
• 5+ years’ experience in computational drug design or molecular modelling
• Strong expertise in structural bioinformatics, computational chemistry, and AI/ML
• Programming skills in Python, R, or Bash
• Experience with tools such as Schrödinger, MOE, Rosetta, PyMOL, AlphaFold

Nice to have

• HPC or cloud computing experience
• Peptide modelling
• End‑to‑end drug discovery exposure
