**Principal Scientist, Molecular Modelling & Structural Biology**
Are you ready to make an impact on drug discovery? We are seeking a skilled Computer-Aided Drug Discovery modeller to join our team.
**Your new role**
Your main responsibilities will be to drive drug discovery projects by identifying, developing, and delivering high quality modelling approaches and hypothesis for design in a timely manner. You will be directly involved in the drug discovery project teams, where you will proactively lead modelling by using innovative approaches, including physics-, and ML/AI-based methods for prioritization and design. You will have a high impact on drug discovery campaigns by driving project strategies, from hit finding, lead optimization and drug candidate selection.
**Your future team**
The Molecular Modelling & Structural Biology team is working closely together with Medicinal Chemistry and Biotherapeutic Discovery. You will join a team of 6 scientists with different backgrounds, all contributing with their expertise to build a dynamic team advancing Lundbeck’s drug discovery projects. We are responsible for Modelling/Computer-Aided Drug Design and Structural Biology supporting multiple modalities. We are fully integrated in the discovery process, working in multi-disciplinary chemistry or biologics projects from early-stage hit-finding, lead optimization, to candidate selection.
The position is based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
**What you bring to the team**
+ You are an experienced, collaborative, and communicative modeller with a proven history of impact in drug discovery projects.
+ You have a PhD in Computational Chemistry, Computational Structural Biology, or related field and several years of experience in Pharmaceutical Industry, comprehensive knowledge and experience with most Computer-Aided Drug Design concepts and techniques, including ML/AI- and Physics-based methods using industry standard modelling tools, MD simulations, FEP, and AlphaFold.
+ You have extensive experience in small molecule drug discovery, or protein/antibody engineering, including solving antibody engineering related challenges, like humanization, immunogenicity, and developability.
