Cheminformatics

The Lead Discovery Center (LDC) was established by the technology transfer organization of the Max Planck Society. The approach of the LDC is to capitalize on the potential of excellent basic research for the discovery of new therapies for diseases with high medical need. The LDC seeks to advance promising research projects into the development of novel medicines in a professional manner.

We are looking for a computational chemist to
- support the design of state-of-the-art novel chemical libraries based on chemistry proposals and analysis of screening results according to industrial standards.
- support innovative early drug discovery projects in close collaboration with distinguished academic and industrial partners.
- to actively interact with internal and external collaboration partners, particularly within a big EU-funded project
- experience with industrial projects is highly welcome.

The position is temporary for 5 years.

Desirable qualifications include:
- Academic degree in Chemistry or a related subject
- PhD in Computational Chemistry / Cheminformatics or a related subject
- Experience in Comutational Chemistry in support of drug discovery projects   ideally in an industrial context.
- Experience in the design of combinatorial libraries
