Dear all, I have two open to work on fragment/XChem-related
methodology for structure-based compound design. <br>
<br>

summary:<br>
<blockquote><i>We are recruiting an experienced computational
chemist or scientific programmer, to head the Fragalysis project
for automating fragment hit progression, part of the XChem
collaboration between SGC and Diamond... The </i><i><a

href="https://fragalysis.diamond.ac.uk/">Fragalysis</a></i><i>
project leader will be tasked with converting the existing
proof-of-concept tool into a production-level system that is
routinely usable for analysing XChem results and designing and
acquiring follow-up compounds. This will entail setting the
scientific direction and priorities of the project through close
and continuous interaction with expert and novice users;
coordinating a growing team of scientific programmers and
contractors; liaising with and expanding a wide and
international set of collaborators and contributors; securing
further funding for the project; helping supervise students; and
developing specific methodologies of their own.</i><br>

this is a summary:<br>
<blockquote><i>This role will be tasked with the design and
acquisition of follow-up compounds based on fragment screening
hits from the Target Enabling Package (</i><i><a
href="http://www.thesgc.org/tep">www.thesgc.org/tep</a></i><i>)
and Ultra-DD (</i><i><a href="http://www.ultra-dd.org">www.ultra-dd.org</a></i><i>)
programs. The successful candidate will coordinate experimental
validation of the newly designed compounds with collaborating
scientists in order to progress them towards potent molecules.<br>
