Principal Modelling Scientist - Computational Protein Design

jobbeskrivelse:

Are you interested in driving the design of next generation biologics that will change the life of patients with diabetes and other serious chronic diseases? Are you an expert in employing computational protein design techniques and have a deep curiosity for modern data science technologies? Do you thrive in an informal working environment? Then you may be our next highly valued Principal Scientist in the ‘Modelling & Predictive Technologies’ Department at Novo Nordisk A/S.

 

About the Department & the Position

At Novo Nordisk you will work in the Modelling & Predictive Technologies Department, a part of the Structure, Bioinformatics and Data Science area, where you will collaborate closely with a number of other research scientists across the R&D area to improve and accelerate active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and drug product (DP) designs of new peptides and biologics. We have access to advanced state-of-the-art protein modelling software, such as Rosetta, Maestro and MOE, and are developing and applying data analysis tools and prediction models to support prescriptive decision making in the API design projects.

 

Your responsibility will be to drive the design of peptides, proteins, and antibodies by employing state-of-the art modeling software and data driven modelling approaches as well as to collaborate closely with other research scientists in multidisciplinary research teams. The project teams work in a flexible, collaborative and cross-functional setting with very ambitious scientific goals. Research activities will be focused on developing, implementing and using state-of-the-art structural modelling technologies to improve functional and biophysical properties. An important part of the job is also to engage with stakeholders across the interdisciplinary and international organization.

 

Requirements

• PhD within a computational structural biology discipline, such as Biophysics or Biochemistry, and at least 5 years of experience in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry or academia. More senior people are in particular encouraged to apply.
• Excellent track record and broad knowledge within applying and driving protein structure based design methods preferably to drug discovery
• Solid programming and scripting skills (e.g. Python) and experience with statistical analysis and modern data science techniques

   

  As a person you use your curiosity to secure that key structural challenges are identified. Your commitment and scientific insights are used to address the core issues and your communication skills enable you to present the results and thereby getting strong impact on project progress. You can collaborate well with people at all levels. Furthermore, you show a positive attitude towards challenges and thrive in an informal working environment. You take the initiative for driving your projects and you are able to stay on top of things in a dynamic working environment.

 

Working at Novo Nordisk

• Opportunity to work in a collaborative and stimulating work environment with the prospect of improving the lives of patients with diabetes and other chronic diseases
• Positive working culture where employees are empowered and the importance of achieving a good work-live balance is valued
