About The Position
At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our employees around the world work to discover and bring life-changing medicines to those who need them, improve the understanding and management of disease, and give back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. We give our best effort to our work, and we put people first. We're looking for people who are determined to make life better for people around the world. DICE Therapeutics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly & Co., is an organization within Lilly Research Labs, a small molecule drug discovery organization with responsibilities spanning from target identification to candidate selection for clinical studies. We are looking to grow our diverse team of scientists. The Computational Chemistry and Cheminformatics (C3) group in DICE is seeking a drug hunting expert with experience applying advanced computational technologies to real-world molecular design, who can operate across the computational and medicinal chemistry fields to make our drug discovery engine faster and more powerful. As a Computational Chemist, you will lead the computational chemistry team at DICE, overseeing the strategic implementation of computational methods for Medicinal Chemistry Projects, both established and new. You will work to improve the computational skills of DICE scientists, help build and implement a strategy to use computational tools in the medchem space, and mentor scientific staff while contributing to their scientific and career development. You will also implement generative design and other forward-looking approaches to the design of novel pharmaceuticals, design complex molecules, and predict their properties using groundbreaking technologies that integrate structural, chemical, and biological data. Additionally, you will contribute to the strategy and execution of small molecule drug discovery programs, working closely with cross-functional project teams in a matrix environment, championing and promoting the use of computational chemistry and cheminformatics methods to expedite the Design-Make-Test-Analyze discovery cycle. Your role will also involve innovating and implementing new technologies to accelerate and improve small molecule design, identifying and assessing emerging computational methodologies, including AI/ML, and contributing to the scientific development direction for the group.
