The computational chemistry group at Research Triangle Park, a component 
of Computational and Structural Chemistry in Molecular Discovery Research,
is seeking a scientist to apply the methods of computational chemistry to 
the discovery of new drugs. These methods may include molecular mechanics,
 quantum mechanics, molecular docking calculations, protein modelling, 
pharmacophore generation and analysis, virtual screening, ADME modelling, 
QSAR, statistics and general data analysis. 

The candidate should have practical experience with several of these 
methodologies, or deeper expertise in one or more of these areas. The 
scientist may develop tools or methodology for these calculations or for 
the analysis and interpretation of their results. Some experience with 
programming and/or scripting languages is an advantage. Using these 
techniques, the scientist will work closely with medicinal chemists and 
project teams to design compounds with improved potency, selectivity, 
functional behavior and/or ADME properties. Some knowledge of medicinal 
chemistry is an advantage. The candidate must have excellent communication
skills, and must work effectively with scientists from other disciplines.
