Postdoctoral fellow - Computational Chemistry (m/f/d)

We are looking for a highly motivated computational chemist to join the Computational Chemistry group at our R&D site in Stein, Switzerland. With strong expertise in computer-aided chemical design and molecular modelling, you will drive innovation in our molecular design processes. As part of your professional development, you will have the opportunity to explore and integrate AI/ML methodologies with traditional computational chemistry approaches to accelerate and improve molecular design of active ingredients. Strong teamwork, excellence in computational design, and the willingness to translate innovative scientific concepts into scalable solutions are essential. This postdoctoral position is offered on a two-year fixed-term contract. Accountabilities: - Support design of new active ingredients by using computational techniques that include data analysis and predictive modelling, molecular modelling, structure- and ligand-based design - Work with chemists, computational chemists, biologists and other experts to devise strategies on how best to use data and provide design inputs to support chemical invention. - Work with computational chemistry colleagues across R&D to drive technology development and promote the use of state-of-the-art methods. - Contribute to the continuous improvement of computational chemistry infrastructures, workflows and algorithm implementation. As a world market leader in crop protection, we help farmers protect their crops and ensure enough safe, nutritious and affordable food for all, while minimizing the use of land and other agricultural inputs. Syngenta Crop Protection keeps plants safe from planting to harvesting. From the moment a seed is planted through to harvest, crops need to be protected from weeds, insects and diseases as well as droughts and floods, heat and cold. Syngenta Crop Protection is headquartered in Switzerland. Health Promotion Switzerland recognizes Syngenta's commitment to the health and well-being of its employees and awards the "Friendly Work Space" label to all its Swiss sites. At Syngenta, employee health and well-being are key to the company.
