Hi Roberto,
As promised, here is the description for the postdoc position in the CADD
group at Novartis:
CADD Postdoctoral Position at Novartis in Cambridge, MA USA
The Novartis Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship program provides talented
scientists
with a unique opportunity to perform high-quality research in an academic
environment
joined with the resources of a large pharmaceutical company.
The position would be in the CADD (Computer-Aided Drug Design) group in
Cambridge, MA
(near the campus of MIT), with a maximum duration of 3 years. The research
project
can be conducted under a dual Novartis/academic mentorship.
The successful candidate will participate in technology projects with
publishable outcomes.
The possible projects are broad in scope, and a list of suitable project
themes could include:
1. Development and/or refinement of 3D ligand based design methods;
2. Machine learning / cheminformatics on industrial sized data sets.
The successful candidate will be integral to defining the scope of the
research project
and will focus his or her efforts on the research and any software
development necessary
to validate and deploy this novel technology across the pharmaceutical
industry.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, or
related fields,
along with experience with the methods and software in the field.
Programming experience
is essential for the development projects. Experience in research projects
