About us
Bindbridge is pioneering sustainable agriculture through artificial intelligence (AI)-powered molecular glue discovery. With backing from leading venture capitalists including Speedinvest and Nucleus Capital, we are building a computational platform to bring targeted protein degradation to agriculture. Our first goal is to discover herbicides that revolutionise crop protection while minimising environmental impact.
The role
We are seeking a computational chemist to join our team and play a pivotal role in developing our molecular discovery platform. You will work at the intersection of computational chemistry, AI, and agricultural innovation, helping solve some of the world’s most pressing food security challenges.
Key responsibilities
- Lead molecular design projects using computational chemistry and AI tools to identify novel molecular glues for agricultural applications.
- Apply structure-based design techniques, including molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and free energy calculations, to optimise protein–protein–ligand interactions.
- Design and execute virtual screening campaigns (ligand- and structure-based) to identify hit compounds from large chemical libraries.
- Collaborate with AI engineers, biologists, and medicinal chemists to advance integrated discovery programs.
- Develop computational workflows and predictive models to improve molecular design efficiency and success rates.
What you will bring
- PhD (or equivalent significant industry experience) in computational chemistry or a related field.
- Proven track record in molecular design projects that progressed to experimental validation.
