    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 very familiar with Linux /Unix toolsets.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • M.S. or Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, Applied Math, Electrical Engineering or Computer Science 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.
    • Must be proficient with C++ with strong knowledge of STL, Boost, and other libraries. Knowledge of Matlab and scripting languages a plus.
    • Knowledge of multi-variate statistics and data analysis 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 algorithm developers who answer yes to all of the above questions.

    Candidates should have solid research credentials in theoretical or applied sciences such as chemistry, physics, applied math, electrical engineering, or computer science. The candidate must also possess exceptional problem solving ability, and have a proven track record of intellectual achievement.

    Possible relevant research experience would include numerical computing, high-dimension function optimization, Monte Carlo simulations, simulated annealing, evolutionary or dynamic programming, differential equation solvers, control systems, statistical mechanics, and atomic or molecular physics. Knowledge of organic chemistry is a plus but no essential.
