Mid/Senior Computational Drug Discovery Scientist
Computational Drug Discovery Scientists use modelling and simulation to accelerate early-stage drug discovery. They design and optimize small molecules through computer-aided drug design (CADD) and structure-based modelling.
Core duties:
Running molecular docking, dynamics, and pharmacophore modelling – Using software like Schrodinger, MOE, or OpenEye.
Collaborating with medicinal chemistry and biology teams – Informing compound selection and SAR analysis.
Designing virtual screening workflows – Prioritising libraries and filtering based on predicted properties (e.g., ADMET).
Building QSAR and ML models – To predict compound activity and guide lead optimization.
Contributing to publications and intellectual property – Supporting innovation across internal pipelines or collaborations.
Candidates typically have a PhD in computational chemistry, structural biology, or cheminformatics, with strong coding and visualization skills.
Arundel
Arundel is an historic town located in the South Downs National Park in West Sussex in the South East region of England. Arundel is approximately 49 miles from London, 18 from Brighton, 40 from Portsmouth and 10 from Chichester, the county town of West Sussex.
