The computational chemistry group at Research Triangle Park, a component
 of Computational and Structural Chemistry within Platform Technologies 
and Science, 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 integration
 and 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. 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.

This position requires a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in Computational Chemistry, 
Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics or related fields.  Any post-doctoral
 or industrial experience would be preferred. Excellent written and oral
 communication skills are essential.
