Friends, Sorry for off-topic posting. My group has a full-time opening in Protein Design, please see the job description below.
If you have informal inquiries please contact me directly; however if you wish to apply please use Monsanto Careers website - it is the only way your application may be considered. Thank you, Artem Evdokimov Structure & Design Team Lead Monsanto Research Scientist - Protein Design-00TFS Description We are seeking a highly talented and motivated *Research Scientist* to join our Protein Structure & Design team in the area of computational protein design. The successful candidate will use both rational and combinatorial design approaches as well as software-aided analysis of protein properties to design novel proteins (or protein variants) in order to (1) create libraries of protein variants for expression & testing and (2) produce high quality models for proteins of interest. These efforts will provide protein variants with improved target properties relevant to the project team(s) and increase our understanding of protein design/structure/function relationships – ultimately leading to the increased efficiency of our protein design program. The successful candidate is expected to collaborate extensively across projects and geographic locations. Position may be located in St. Louis, MO or Cambridge, MA.
