Research Fellow, Computational Chemistry – 8+ years

Eurofins Discovery is very motivated to apply computational sciences, data visualization, bioinformatics and other data‑driven approaches to all steps of the drug development process. Given the expanding scope of the Drug Discovery Chemistry group’s operations, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to continue to build on the existing team to achieve this goal.

The candidate is expected to promote computational sciences as an integral part of Hit Finding campaigns, modern ML/AI supported drug discovery and Eurofins flagship Integrated Drug Discovery Programs under DiscoveryOne. Work closely with DiscoveryAI business to support/lead Eurofins Discovery wider AI‑based initiatives.

Responsibilities:

• Represent Computational Chemistry as the subject matter expert for non‑clinical research and development;
• Independently pursue research projects, implement novel computational workflows and support a dynamic multi‑disciplinary team focused on moving projects from the hit‑identification stage to the discovery of clinical candidate;
• Contribute to the development, implementation and utilization of state‑of‑the‑art computational software, computer‑aided drug design and simulation techniques to help drive in‑silico drug discovery activities;
• Responsible for the analysis, interpretation, integration and reporting of research informatics data generated with internal teams and external clients;
• Partner with and support medicinal chemistry team during lead optimization related activities such as docking and scoring of the molecules from rational drug design;
• Apply or develop new tools or data‑mining techniques for integrative analysis and visualization of large data sets;
• Participate in data governance objectives working closely with IT and the laboratory teams;
• Provide transparency and regular communication on project status, potential roadblocks for execution, and new strategies with Drug Discovery Chemistry leadership;
• Ensure project activities align with Eurofins policies, procedures and methodologies;
• Demonstrate and promote the company vision;
• Maintain regular attendance and punctuality;
• Conduct all activities in a safe and efficient manner;
• Perform other duties as assigned;
• Own accountability and responsibility of delivering to client needs and timeliness;
