Open Position: Computational Biologist / Bioinformatician

We are looking for a highly motivated Computational Biologist / Bioinformatician (*) to join the Chemical Biology Resources team at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), located on the Wellcome Genome Campus near Cambridge, as part of the Wellcome Trust funded LIGMAP project, a multi-disciplinary collaboration between University College London and EMBL-EBI. LIGMAP is an ambitious multiyear project, led by University College London, to identify the endogenous ligands of the many proteins of unknown function in the proteome using AI-based methods as well as classical machine learning. You will work closely with the PDBe team at EMBL-EBI, as well as leading researchers in structural biology and machine learning at University College London, to deliver the goals of the project. You will develop descriptors to characterise the binding site of proteins in terms of their ability to recognise ligands, and use these to assess druggability of protein binding sites.   This positi...
