Post-Doc m/f Computational Chemistry Rational Protein Design Job ID: 4003 0501 BC 05/10 5 Location: Biberach Division: Research & Development Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG

Computational Chemistry is a group within the Department of Lead Discovery. Members of the group interact closely with their colleagues in Medicinal Chemistry, Biology, and Structural Research, as well as High-Throughput Screening and Screening Logistics. We want to further strengthen our expertise in rational protein design to support our protein therapeutics research. Therefore a postdoctoral research position is available in the Computational Chemistry group at our research site in Biberach.

Your varied tasks

You will explore, develop, and establish modern computational techniques to support rational design of protein therapeutics. In close collaboration with research project teams you will apply these methods to assist the maturation of biological macromolecules into novel protein therapeutics.

Your ideal qualification

You should have a PhD in Chemistry, Biology, or a related discipline. A sound understanding of biological macromolecules as well as a strong theoretical and practical knowledge in computational modelling of protein properties are required. Preferred areas of expertise include homology modelling, assessment and prediction of protein-protein interactions, and techniques to characterize protein flexibility. Knowledge in programming or scripting languages is expected.

Personally you are open to new challenges, reliable, flexible in mind and enjoy teamwork. Active interest in related scientific disciplines, good communication and presentation skills as well as fluent English, written and spoken, are mandatory.

We provide a competitive compensation and benefits package. Biberach is situated in an attractive area of southern Germany between Stuttgart and the Lake of Constance.

If you are seeking opportunities to expand your professional horizon and your profile corresponds with the above we look forward to hearing from you.
