We are seeking a Senior Scientist to join our Protein & Vector Engineering team, contributing to cutting-edge research in structural bioinformatics, computational chemistry, and AI-driven drug design.

This role plays a key part in advancing computational drug design (CDD) across biologics, chemistry, and genomics programmes. You will work closely with senior scientists and cross-functional teams to develop and apply innovative computational approaches for 3D structure prediction, molecular modelling, and protein/antibody design.

What this role offers

• Senior-level ownership of computational strategy and execution
• Exposure to AI- and computation-driven drug discovery programmes
• A collaborative, multidisciplinary environment across protein engineering, genomics, and data science
• Opportunity to contribute to publications, patents, and platform development

Key responsibilities

• Lead computational strategies for drug design, molecular modelling, and structural bioinformatics
• Design and execute advanced workflows (MD, QM, protein & antibody design, AI/ML-driven CDD)
• Mentor junior scientists and support technical development
• Build and maintain robust, reproducible in-house computational pipelines
• Collaborate with internal teams and external partners

What you’ll bring

• PhD in a relevant computational or life sciences discipline
• 5+ years’ experience in computational drug design or molecular modelling
• Strong expertise in structural bioinformatics, computational chemistry, and AI/ML
• Programming skills in Python, R, or Bash
• Experience with tools such as Schrödinger, MOE, Rosetta, PyMOL, AlphaFold

Nice to have

• HPC or cloud computing experience
• Peptide modelling
• End-to-end drug discovery exposure
