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.
Cranleigh
Cranleigh, which is situated in Surrey in the South East Region, is reputedly the largest village in England. Cranleigh is located approximately 50 miles from London, 8 from Guildford, 12 from Horsham and 9 from Dorking. Although there are some light engineering companies in Cranleigh, many residents commute to London, Guildford and other larger towns. The Beeching railway cuts meant that Cranleigh lost its station in 1965 and the nearest one is now in Chilworth, approximately 8 miles away. Cranleigh is surrounded by beautiful open countryside and is close to Petworth House, Winkworth Arboretum and Leith Hill.
Cranleigh is famous for two main reasons. Firstly, in 1859 it was the first place to set up a cottage hospital and secondly the head of a grinning cat is carved on an arch in the church and this is believed to have been the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat.
Famous people from Cranleigh include: Anna Botting, Sky News Presenter and W Heath Robinson, Cartoonist & Illustrator
