VITAE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. is an emerging pharmaceutical company dedicated
to the discovery and development of innovative drugs by advancing its 
pipeline of product candidates in major therapeutic areas including cancer,
dermatology and cardiovascular disease. Vitae is uniquely able to 
accelerate drug candidates by integrating the traditional drug discovery 
skills and intuition of proven drug developers with state-of-the-art, 
proprietary drug design technologies. Vitae Pharmaceuticals is financed by
leading corporate and venture capital investors and is headquartered in 
Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. 

As a Research Scientist in the Computational Drug Discovery group, you 
will help to develop and maintain the company's proprietary drug discovery 
technology. You will develop and implement fast and accurate methods for 
making predictions (such as protein-ligand binding free energies) to aid 
decision-making during preclinical drug discovery. You will design and 
code algorithms (in C++ and Java) for calculating molecular properties 
and simulating biological systems. You will work on Vitae's Contour Drug 
Discovery System, a Java-based, three-tiered molecular data management 
application comprising a GUI front end, a 200+ CPU compute cluster and a 
200GB Oracle database. 

Job Requirements: 

-  PhD in physical chemistry, chemical physics, physics, or biophysics from 
   a top tier graduate program. 
-  Good understanding of physics, physical chemistry, and structural 
   biology. 
-  4+ years of independent research experience with computational 
   simulations of biological phenomena such as protein folding or protein-
   ligand binding. 
-  Experience developing algorithms for optimization, sampling, machine 
   learning, and/or molecular dynamics. 
-  Extensive programming experience in C++ (C++ and Java preferred). 
-  Strong interpersonal and communication skills (both written and verbal).
-  Experience with machine learning techniques is a plus.
