Sr. Research & Data Scientist in AI and Computational Chemistry will be a key role in shaping up the AI-enabled Drug Discovery (AIDD) project that aims at the total drug discovery solution from design to delivery.

You will work closely with other scientists to build the key analysis and prediction modules used in SaaS-based drug design solution employing the artificial intelligence and machine-learn (AI/ML) techniques as well as other algorithmic approaches, and work with the reaction automation team to support the link between drug-design and drug-delivery.

In this role, you will be typically involved in activities, such as:

• Building the computational chemistry engine for drug discovery purposed based on ML/AL and other procedural algorithms
• Curating large structure-activity-relationship (SAR) datasets and building predictive models from them
• Keeping up with the latest development in computational chemistry and machine-driven drug discovery in publications to improve the existing products based on them
• Documenting data, data curation and model building processes
• Working closely with the product team for supporting their needs in ChemInformatics
• Analyzing complex problems in AIDD and articulating solution ideas based on ChemInformatics and AI/ML approaches
• Working with potential customers or business team to craft solutions for business needs
• Providing proof-of-concepts for testing out ideas and communicating ideas with solution team
• Following an agile development approach in building PoC and core modules

Who You Are:

• Be able to build AI/ML models for SAR endpoints starting from raw data
• Be curious and innovative with a strong desire to revolutionize the drug-discovery process
• Be able to work with AIDD customers to extract their needs and design solutions from them
• Be an excellent verbal and written communicator
• Work collaboratively with others within the team and across teams
• Preferably familiar with the agile development process
