We are looking for a new member for our group...the ad follows.
-Dirk Bussiere
Structural Chemistry Group, 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 to improve lead compounds. The ideal candidate will
have an M.S. degree and 10 or more years of work experience or a Ph.D. and 5-7
years of combined postdoctoral and work experience. Degrees in Biochemistry,
Chemistry, or Molecular Biophysics are acceptable. Strong experience in protein
biochemistry and crystallographic methods is necessary and pharmaceutical
industry experience is a plus. Strong computational and molecular modeling
skills, experience in solution studies (calorimetry, NMR, etc.), experience in
structure-based drug design, and/or expertise in complex crystallization
problems would be useful. You should have excellent verbal and written
communication skills and the ability to work in large, multidisciplinary
project teams.
