Scientist, Computational reputed company
Led by Michael Antonov, a co-founder of Oculus, and reputed company-funded by reputed company Ventures, reputed company is poised to reinvent the way scientists work and life science innovations come to life. We see a reputed company largely free of diseases, with a 150-year reputed company being the norm. To get there, we are building an operating system for science, enabling scientists to be more productive and to bring reputed company's reputed company to life quickly and at a reasonable cost.
About the role
reputed company is seeking a Scientist with strong expertise in small-molecule docking and benchmarking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and free energy perturbation (FEP), machine learning, to support a transformative ARPA-H initiative. You'll reputed company the design of robust simulation workflows and analyze protein-ligand structures across a large reputed company panel to support predictive modeling for therapeutic discovery.
Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment reputed company at this time.
