PhD Computational Medicinal Chemist (Torres Quevedo Grant) Santiago de Compostela, Spain | Celtarys Research
Help us decide what to make and test next.
At Celtarys, we’re looking for a computational medicinal chemist to turn molecular ideas and experimental data into compound design decisions, working closely with our medicinal chemistry and biology teams.
Your role: • Design and prioritize bioactive compounds using cheminformatics, molecular modelling and medicinal chemistry principles. • Build reproducible workflows to explore synthetically accessible compounds and assess their properties and diversity. • Apply ligand- and/or structure-based methods to guide compound selection.
What you’ll bring: • A PhD with research experience in computational medicinal chemistry and computer-aided drug design. • Practical cheminformatics and molecular modelling experience,
plus programming skills to develop scientific workflows. • An independent, collaborative approach and clear communication in English.
Recent PhD graduates are welcome. Postdoctoral or industry experience is valued; experience in targeted protein degradation or fluorescent probes is a plus.
Join a collaborative, international biotech startup where your work will directly shape compound design and our evolving drug discovery platform.
The selected candidate will jointly apply with Celtarys for a Torres Quevedo grant. The position is intended to align with the applicable funding requirements, subject to confirmation under the relevant call.
