A leading drug invention company is looking for a Senior Application Scientist in London. In this role, you will lead large-scale molecular simulations, mentor junior scientists, and contribute to drug discovery strategies using advanced simulation techniques. Applicants should have a Master's or Ph.D. in a relevant field with over 5 years of experience, particularly in molecular simulations and free energy methods. This position offers an opportunity to impact innovative drug discovery significantly.
AQEMIA is a drug invention company dedicated to creating entirely new medicines to address major unmet medical needs. At the core of our mission is QEMI, our proprietary molecule-invention platform, which uniquely combines cutting-edge science with advanced technology. Powered by physics-based modeling, statistical mechanics, and generative AI, QEMI allows our teams to design novel drug candidates from first principles.
What makes AQEMIA different is our commitment to true innovation: our research is dedicated to the invention of new molecular entities, not the refinement of existing ones. We focus on inventing never-before-seen molecules, without relying on experimental data, and advancing them into a growing pipeline of proprietary programs and strategic partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies.
Our most advanced preclinical programs are currently in vivo optimization, targeting diseases still waiting for effective treatments, offering our teams the opportunity to work on science that can make a real difference in people’s lives.
