- Deep experience in tools like RDKit, OpenMM, or experience with molecular simulation data.
- Python programming skills
- Deep experience in scientific data analysis, ideally in drug discovery.

Nice to have:

- Demonstrated experience leading multi-team scientific initiatives.
- Understanding of statistical methods and exploratory data analysis.
- Knowledge of high-performance computing or cloud environments.
