Job Description
We have two entry-level positions for talented computational Senior Scientists, Computer Aided Drug Design joining our cutting edge In Silico Discovery department within Therapeutics Discovery at J&J.

The positions require using computational methods in areas such as structure-based drug design, physics-based modeling, machine learning, co-folding and more, to identify hits, design molecules and drive our early drug discovery projects. A particular focus for these positions is to contribute to virtual screening (VS), physics-based methods (e.g. FEP) especially for VS, co-folding structure prediction and the increased overlap and use of these methods. We are looking for people with teamwork and communication skills to engage in a matrix environment and across multi-disciplinary portfolio and technology teams.

Responsibilities Of The Senior Scientists Will Include

  • Explore and develop workflows that lead to improvements for virtual screening and early hit-finding efforts. Assess and recommend best practices on for instance the use of free energy methods or co-folding for VS
  • Work with others to explore and develop best practices for the use of co-folding in many different computational workflows
  • In the long term, and with the support of colleagues, identify emerging technologies and methods in structure-based, physics-based, or 3D AIML fields and test and introduce them into In Silico Discovery at J&J
  • Work with the broader VS team to contribute to the databases, evaluating methods, best practice workflows, VS informatics platform and improving success rates
  • Impact drug discovery projects by developing and executing clear computational strategies and workflows to design complex molecules and predict their properties using structure-based and machine learning methodologies
  • Contribute your recommendations to drug discovery project teams consisting of medicinal chemists, disease biologists, structural biologists, etc.
  • Play an important role in external collaborations and consortia in the key areas mentioned: physics-based, VS, co-folding etc. Integrate collaboration deliverables internally
  • In general, work positively and collaboratively across In Silico Discovery with our global CADD, Drug Discovery Data Sciences, Cheminformatics and In Silico Biologics teams.
  • Ensure optimal interaction/communication and provide updates on project status to discovery leadership

  • Experience coding and developing workflows in Python
  • A basic understanding of medicinal chemistry principals and concepts that are applied in drug discovery
  • Up to 10% travel both domestically and internationally is required

Preferred Skills

  • Computational chemistry Postdoctoral studies, limited industry experience or exposure to drug discovery is beneficial.
  • Deeper multi-year exposure to areas such as free energy methods, or 3D AIML affinity or structure prediction
  • Experience with open-source resources, libraries and toolkits such as ChEMBL, RDKit, etc
  • Experience with modern AIML libraries and platforms
  • Solid understanding of generative design
  • Experience with commercial software packages for molecular modeling: Maestro (Schrodinger), Openeye, MOE (Chemical computing group)
  • Experience with large chemical spaces used in virtual screening
  • Experience with existing virtual screening methodologies such as docking, and ligand-based methods
