    • Work with the team to identify and develop innovative approaches to expand our cheminformatics capabilities, and drive the long-term strategic thinking of the team
    • Apply a wide range of computer-aided drug design techniques to identify and develop small molecules, including virtual screening, reaction and fragment enumeration, de novo design, and chemical library design and sampling
    • Gather, analyse and report on biochemical data from a range of data sources to derive novel insights into SAR and SPR, including the manipulation and analysis of biochemical data at scale
    • Build, evaluate and deliver QSAR models to advance our small molecule Drug Discovery programmes, and to support their use by project teams
    • Develop processes, customisable workflows and computational techniques that can be adapted and applied across the drug discovery portfolio
    • Act as the key domain expert for cheminformatics and the handling of biochemical data, and consult with scientific and engineering teams from across BenevolentAI
    • Collaborate and communicate effectively with members of the Chemoinformatics, Computational Chemistry, Bioinformatics, Drug Discovery, Artificial Intelligence, Engineering and Product teams
    • Line-manage a portion of the team, defining and monitoring their individual goals, in line with company and department objectives, and conduct performance reviews

    • PhD or equivalent in Chemoinformatics, Computational Chemistry, Molecular Modelling or a closely related field and extensive experience of computer-aided drug discovery in pharma, biotech or academic drug discovery unit
    • Detailed demonstrable knowledge of a wide range of chemoinformatics approaches and their application to live drug discovery projects, and the ability to objectively design scientifically-merited experiments
    • Extensive practical experience of computer-aided drug design, such as compound library design, similarity and substructure searching, virtual screening, reaction enumeration, molecular fragmentation, R-group analysis and combinatorics, multi-parameter optimisation
    • Practical experience in developing, deploying and applying machine learning and QSAR modelling techniques to chemical and biological data, and knowledge of a wide range of chemical featurisers, and a strong understanding of best practices
    • Extensive experience processing chemical and biological data from a range of data sources, e.g. ChEMBL, SureChEMBL, and PubChem
    • Strong and demonstrable programming and technical skills, and familiar with open source and proprietary chemoinformatics libraries e.g. RDKit or other leading industry toolkits
    • Innovator of new ideas and approaches in the chemoinformatics and computational chemistry fields of research, as demonstrated by appropriate papers, presentations, or code contributions to open source projects
    • Excellent communication and leadership skills, especially when working with junior colleagues from a range of technical and scientific backgrounds

    Desired Skills:

    • Experience setting up and managing computational infrastructure for cheminformatics and computational chemistry applications
    • Familiarity with deep learning frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch), and state-of-the art ML approaches.
    • Familiarity with 3D ligand- and structural-based modelling techniques, such as docking, pharmacophore modelling, shape similarity screening, molecular dynamics simulations, water-site analysis and/or FEP analysis
