a qualified postdoctoral fellow to join the Molecular Design and Informatics group at the
Exton, PA site. The successful candidate will work on the development of advanced
algorithms for ligand and structure-based drug design and chemical informatics. Areas
of interest include conformational analysis, 3-D database searching, protein docking,
and data analysis.
Qualified candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in computational chemistry or a related
discipline, and must have a strong background in algorithm development and computer
programming in one of the areas listed above. Strong C++ programming skills are highly
desired, as is the ability to learn new technologies and work effectively in a large
development team. Extensive interactions with other informatics and modeling specialists
across multiple sites are expected. The successful candidate must have excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a dynamic,

The Molecular Design and Informatics group represents the fusion of the informatics and
modeling groups at J&J PRD Spring House and 3-Dimensional Pharmaceuticals, Inc,
and consists of 20 computational chemists, chemoinformaticians and database analysts. Its mission is to provide
modeling and informatics support for the company's internal drug discovery programs, develop new methodologies for computer-assisted
drug design, and provide enterprise solutions for chemical and biological data management.
The group has a proven track record of scientific and technical excellence as manifested by its strong publication record, rich patent portfolio, and
global impact within R&D, providing a stimulating work environment and great opportunities for
scientific growth. Our site combines a unique small company atmosphere with the benefits of one of the largest and most
admired pharmaceutical companies in the world.
