Job Description
Job Title: Scientist Molecular Design
Job Location: United States
Job Location Type: Remote
Job Contract Type: Fulltime
Job Seniority Level: MidSenior level
Our closed loop system generates precise chemical datasets at unrivaled scale that work seamlessly with AI to systematically map biochemical interactions between small molecules and causes of disease. Iterative cycles of virtual molecular design and experimentation power AI and machine learning models which in turn guide the next cycle of design. With a chemistry engine that measures billions of interactions daily and becomes increasingly precise with every cycle we can answer an unprecedented array of questions — deriving insights that enable us to predictably create drugs for patients in need.
Position Summary: Terray is currently seeking a motivated creative and experienced scientist to join our Molecular Design group within the Computational and Data Sciences (CDS) team. The candidate will design combinatorial libraries for our platform and contribute to hittolead and lead optimization efforts across multiple drug discovery programs. In this interdisciplinary role the candidate will work closely with the chemistry and biology functions at Terray as well as the machine learning data science and software teams within CDS.
The Core Responsibilities Of This Position Are
- Design focus libraries and productionize library design methods that use our proprietary ML models and other computational tools
- Develop metrics to assess and improve library designs
- Extract insights from our ultralarge proprietary screening datasets in collaboration with data scientists and cheminformaticians
- Contribute to the design of small molecules with inhouse highthroughput computational tools using both structurebased and ligandbased models
- Communicate molecular design strategy and outcomes to teams across the company
Required Qualifications
- BS/MS/Ph.D in computational organic or medicinal chemistry or a related field
- Experience designing smallmolecule libraries for virtual screens DEL screens and/or HTS
- Experience triaging large data sets from virtual screens DEL screens and/or HTS
- Proficient in Python and the PyData stack (numpy pandas scipy scikitlearn etc.)
- Familiar with ligandbased and structurebased methods to designing small molecules for drug discovery projects
- Experience with RDKit and familiarity with molecular simulation suites (Schrodinger MOE etc.) and docking programs (AutoDock Vina rDock etc.)
