- Work with the Education team to advance content in a team-oriented environment
- Develop in-depth familiarity with our entire suite of small-molecule, biologics, and materials science software, including packages for docking, molecular simulations, homology modeling, pharmacophore modeling, cheminformatics, and quantum mechanics
What you should have:
- Master’s degree or higher in computational chemistry with a focus on drug discovery
- Experience with molecular modeling software tools, including common workflows and best practices for drug design
- Some familiarity with Confluence, Jira, and technical writing tools (Flare, Palio, general knowledge of CMS or CCMS) is a plus, but not required
