Vapi, Gujarat, India Meril Full time ₹ 20,00,000 - ₹ 25,00,000 per year

Job Description:


• We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Structural Biologist to join our drug

discovery programs. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in

macromolecular structure determination and modeling, with a focus on elucidating

protein structures, analyzing ligand binding, and driving rational drug design in

collaboration with computational and medicinal chemistry teams.

Key Responsibilities:


• Analyze protein-ligand interactions to inform medicinal chemistry and lead

optimization efforts.


• Conduct molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and free energy calculations to

evaluate complex stability and binding energetics.


• Apply structural insights to guide hit-to-lead and lead optimization strategies.


• (Preferred) Utilize machine learning models to support binding site prediction or

compound prioritization.

Required Skills & Experience:


• Strong expertise in structural biology techniques, such as crystallography, cryo-

EM, or NMR are desirable.


• Proficient in macromolecular modeling and structure refinement tools (e.g.,

Phenix, Coot, Chimera, PyMOL).


• Experience with protein-ligand docking, structure validation, and interaction

mapping.


• Hands-on experience with molecular dynamics simulations using tools such as

GROMACS, AMBER, NAMD, or CHARMM.


• Familiarity with structure-based drug design platforms (e.g., Schrödinger,

AutoDock).


• Scripting or programming experience (Python, R, Bash) for workflow automation and

structural data analysis.

Preferred Qualifications:


• Ph.D. in Structural Biology, Biophysics, Computational Biology or related field.


• Demonstrated experience in drug discovery pipelines, especially in target

validation and lead optimization.


• (Preferred) Background in machine learning or AI applied to biomolecular structure

or ligand interaction prediction.


• Strong publication record or demonstrated project impact in therapeutic

development.

What We Offer:


• Work on high-impact, discovery-stage therapeutic programs.


• Collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment.


• Access to state-of-the-art computational and structural biology platforms.
