Postdoctoral researcher

Job Description

Hiring a postdoctoral researcher! Please share my post and with potential applicants. The goals of the project are to develop and apply structure-based virtual screening techniques to identify ligands for peptide-binding GPCRs in large chemical libraries. The project will use molecular docking and machine learning techniques to screen for ligands in combinatorial libraries of peptides and peptidomimetics, as well as in collections of naturally occurring peptides from microbes, plants, and animals. The project involves collaborations with experimental research groups within the Biodiversity2Drugs consortium (https://lnkd.in/deruDaV2). Strong expertise in computational chemistry, with demonstrated experience in cheminformatics and structure-based ligand design, is required. Proficiency in molecular docking or co-folding methods for predicting protein–ligand complexes and experience in working with chemical libraries are also required. Experience in machine learning, scientific programming, and structure-based modeling of GPCRs and peptides is preferred but not required.
