invited to apply.
Structural Chemistry, Structure-Based Drug Design & Discovery
Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, Emeryville, California
Use your scientific expertise to aid us in our structure-based drug
design efforts. Your task will be the determination of high-resolution,
three-dimensional structures of macromolecular drug targets (typically
proteins), including crystallization and structure solution of medically
important structures and target-ligand complexes. As a part of an
integrated team you will interact with computational chemists and
medicinal chemists to design new scaffolds and improve lead compounds.
The ideal candidate will have a B.S. or M.S. degree and 2 or more years
of work experience, or a Ph.D. and 2 or more years of postdoctoral
and/or work experience. Degrees in Biochemistry, Chemistry, or
Molecular Biophysics are acceptable. Experience in protein biochemistry,
protein crystallization, and crystallographic methods are necessary and
pharmaceutical industry experience is a plus. Strong computational and
molecular modeling skills, experience in solution studies (calorimetry,
NMR, etc.) and/or experience in structure-based drug design would be
useful. You should have excellent verbal and written communication
skills and the ability to work in large, multidisciplinary project
teams.
