Assistant Professor in Computer-Aided Drug Design
2 dagen geleden
We are seeking an Assistant Professor to lead the Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) group within the Medicinal Chemistry division at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The successful candidate will develop methodologies in molecular modeling, data management, and machine learning to advance the understanding of ligand-protein interactions.
The candidate will have a background in drug development, medicinal chemistry, and computational chemistry, with expertise in both ligand-based and structure-based drug discovery. The role requires interdisciplinary collaboration within the division, working closely with synthetic chemists and molecular pharmacologists.
Key Responsibilities- Develop and apply computational techniques, including protein structure predictions, molecular dynamics, docking, virtual screening, structural chemogenomics, machine learning, and free-energy perturbations.
- Manage and analyze large datasets, with expertise in cheminformatics and bioinformatics.
- Model G-protein coupled receptors and enzymes, with a strong publication record.
- Program and script, with good communicative skills in writing and speaking.
- Attract research funding and lead the CADD group.
- Motivate and teach graduate and undergraduate students.
The Medicinal Chemistry division is part of the Faculty of Science at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The department has two main research lines: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and Fragment-Based Drug Discovery. The computational group uses structural understanding to develop GPCR activation models, construct ligand-protein binding models, deduce structure-activity relationships, and identify and optimize novel GPCR ligands.
The department is committed to research, valorisation, and training socially engaged citizens of the world who will make valuable contributions to a sustainable, healthy future.
About the UniversityVrije Universiteit Amsterdam stands for values-driven education and research. We are open-minded experts with the ability to think freely.
