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 position is initially for 3y but may be renewed for an additional year. Applicants may be from anywhere in the world (visa support and relocation allowance); also note that the quoted salary is tax free and so is equivalent to the net salary from another job.

* Strictly speaking you could be coming from a computer science or chemistry background, for example, so long as you can demonstrate relevant expertise in the problem domain.
** We have set the closing date relatively soon to avoid clashing with the holiday period.
