Position Description:
They are looking for a highly motivated scientist with experience in computational chemistry, small molecule drug design, and protein modeling to join the team and apply computational approaches in the field of molecular design and modeling, supporting small and/or large (macromolecules, peptides, biosimilars, etc.) molecule drug discovery to advance our core cheminformatics capabilities. Responsible for developing computational hypotheses using molecular modeling tools for small molecule and/or large molecule discovery related to diseases, parasites, immunology, and other areas in animal health. Additionally, draft scientific communications, abstracts, posters, slide sets, and manuscripts for publication.
Roles and Responsibilities:
- Apply computational techniques relevant to small molecule or large (peptide/protein engineering/antibody) molecule drug discovery
- Work on the design of small and or large molecules by computational techniques such as virtual screening using both ligand and structure-based methods, homology modeling, hit-to-lead, and lead optimization strategies, docking, pharmacophore modeling, cheminformatics approaches
- Work with modeling tools such as Schrodinger (Maestro/Bioluminate) / MOE / molecular dynamics tools (GROMACS) / AlphaFold / Canvas / KNIME/ RDKit.
- Generate and maintain chemical libraries, apply statistical methods for the screening of compounds and build SAR models
- Play a major role in drug repurposing, lead identification, optimization, scaffold hopping and fragment linking
- Conducting literature searches for the target, structures related to the target and any other relevant or key information for preparing target dossiers
- Work collaboratively with chemists, biologists, and multidisciplinary project team members from target assessment to hit identification, compound optimization towards clinical candidates and provide scientific knowledge obtained through molecular modeling, supporting preclinical drug discovery
- Help with new target assessment through druggability, ortholog analysis, active site prediction, selectivity, and/or tool compound analysis
- Contribute towards several research initiatives by the company
- Manage multiple projects at any given time along with tracking project milestones.
- Capable of self-directed research within broader goals set by group
- Obtain feedback from customers and implement customer management requirements.
- Comply with and support the group’s project management tool, standards, policies, and initiatives.
- Follow Elanco specifications for documentation, specifically good documentation practices.
- Work closely in consultation with Regulatory, R&D sites, and global project teams.
- Should be able to teach and train his/her team in all the above-mentioned aspects as and when required
- Perform additional tasks as assigned.
