• Peer-reviewed publications on protein engineering, design, structure and function

• Experience with molecular modeling software (e.g. Rosetta)

• Familiarity with molecular visualization software (e.g. PyMol)

• Scripting experience (Python) and knowledge of biology data formats (PDB,Fasta,Genbank)

• Good understanding of bioinformatics tools such as Blast, HMMER, – when and how to use them.

• Familiarity with NGS analysis pipelines

Responsibilities​

• Design novel enzymes, or alter existing enzymes specificity using our computational protein design platform potentially with industry or government partners.

• Data analysis and visualization for reports/presentations, delivery to partners

• Summarize and discover novel research on protein and enzyme design, high-throughput screening, to guide our experimental and computational teams.

• Work side-by-side with chemists, biologists, computer scientists, and software developers to develop new methods for protein design and execute existing ones.

• Assist in the collection/curation of biological datasets (sequence, structure, function data) for machine learning initiatives

• Identification of platform limitations and development of research strategies to resolve these issues.
