  • An excellent communicator and presenter with superb organisational skills
  • A dedicated scientist who’s willing to learn and deliver results
  • A creative collaborator who enjoys helping others solve problems
  • A self-motivated team player who takes ownership of projects and manages their own time well

What You’ll Do

  • Provide scientific support to current and prospective customers, which includes demonstration of optimal use of our life science software suites, facilitation of interactions between customers and product development teams, and general scientific guidance
  • Work with biologics customers to translate their scientific vision into robust modelling and data analysis workflows
  • Troubleshoot customers’ scientific workflows, administration, and adaptation of their modelling environment
  • Engage in cutting-edge methodological scientific research and advise our customers on best practices for computational modelling
  • Publish scientific papers and present at conferences

What You Should Have

  • PhD in computational chemistry, bioinformatics, structural biology, biophysics or a related field
  • A deep knowledge of at least two biologics modalities, such as antibodies, peptides, enzymes, and oligonucleotides
  • Demonstrable Python programming experience with bioinformatics and biologics data structures, databases, and administration of software or applications
  • Excellent English language skills (both verbal and written)
  • Willingness to travel
  • One of the following is a plus:
    • Expertise in the application of machine learning methods for biologics design
    • Hands-on experience with computational methods and/or experimental techniques in biologics discovery
    • Experience with small molecule drug discovery and related computational chemistry methods
