    BACKGROUND

    Verseon is a privately held, rapidly growing Silicon Valley-based drug discovery company. Verseon has developed a proprietary in-silico design and medicinal chemistry platform that finally fulfills the promise of structure-based rational drug discovery. The Verseon solution is focused on delivering novel small molecule drugs that target unmet market needs.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    As a member of the core R&D team you will be a part of a highly collaborative and fast-paced, multi-disciplinary research environment. Your duties will include the design, implementation, and testing of key software components of Verseon's proprietary drug discovery platform. Your focus will be on new and challenging innovations in the areas of molecular modeling, protein-ligand binding affinity estimation, and the semi-classical approximation of molecular interactions in the context of biomolecular simulations. You will be expected to code proficiently in C++ and be familiar with Linux /Unix toolsets.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • Ph.D. in computational chemistry or computational biology or related field.
    • Minimum of 2-3 yrs of relevant work experience in industry. Post-doctoral researchers with a proven background will also be considered.
    • Active recent experience with C++ with proficiency in the use of STL and other libraries. Knowledge of scripting languages a plus.
    • Strong interpersonal and communication skills (both written and verbal).
    • An open mind with the courage to question conventional thinking and take on challenges.

    PREFERENCES

    Do you want to be part of a team that brings to the forefront the next generation of technological innovations that will redefine the future of drug discovery?

    Do you want to make your mark creating a drug discovery platform that will impact the future of therapeutic advancements?

    Are you ready to join a truly different drug discovery organization?

    Verseon is seeking highly talented and motivated computational chemists and biologists who answer yes to all of the above questions.

    Candidates should have impeccable research credentials in computational chemistry and/or biology, possess exceptional problem solving ability, and have a proven track record of intellectual achievement.

    Possible relevant research experience would include the computation of protein-ligand binding affinities, molecular modeling of molecular complexes, development of atom-based force fields, conformational analysis of macromolecules, molecular dynamic or other simulations, and the prediction of protein structure.
