Ansaris, a privately-held, Pennsylvania-based life science company, was 
established in February 2009 to focus on small molecule drug discovery 
challenges, by leveraging 10 years of drug discovery expertise including 
fragment-based drug design technology from Sarnoff Corporation, protein 
modeling technology from Protein Mechanics, Inc. and evolution of 
technologies.

The mission of Ansaris is to discover novel therapeutics through a unique 
technology platform that integrates virtual drug design, medicinal 
chemistry and biology expertise.  

We are currently seeking an experienced scientist to use our proprietary 
computational fragment-based design methods to discover novel ligands for 
targets of pharmaceutical interest, contribute to the development and 
extension of internal de novo design technology, and collaborate actively 
as part of a design team of computational chemists, medicinal chemists, 
and biologists.
 
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Computational/Theoretical Chemistry or 
related field with at least three years experience in the following areas:
         -Structure-based drug design
         -Development and implementation of new algorithms for lead 
           discovery and optimization
         -Application of molecular dynamics and/or Monte Carlo simulations
           to drug discovery

Programming skills : C, C++, Perl and Python are all highly desirable; 
Experience with commercial computational chemistry packages such as MOE, 
Maestro (Schrodinger), Pymol, Mopac, and Gaussian. Candidate must have 
excellent written and verbal communication skills.
