Postdoc position in computational chemistry / structure-based drug design A number of new posts have been created as part of a new Drug Discovery for Tropical Diseases initiative (http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/doc_wtx027342.html) . Available for 3 years in the first instance, these posts are to be located within brand new laboratory facilities in the recently completed Centre for Interdisciplinary Research. All posts represent a unique opportunity to gain experience in drug discovery within an academic setting. These posts will be available from 1st April 2006 and offer competitive salaries. Computational Chemist Candidates should have a PhD in the area of structure-based drug design. This post will involve compound library design, virtual screening and interpretation of structure-activity relationships. Experience with a scripting language such as Perl, Python or PHP and with MySQL databases would be an advantage. The candidate will interact with medicinal chemists and screening scientists on a regular basis. (Dr. Ruth Brenk) Informal enquiries should be directed to Principal Investigators indicated.
