We are building a new generation of AI-enabled computational tools to accelerate the discovery of innovative medicines, and this role will play an important part in advancing our capabilities in peptide design. This position is primarily focused on applying computational chemistry, modelling, and AI/ML to support the design and optimisation of peptides and related modalities across discovery programmes. You will contribute to projects from early concept through to candidate discovery, helping to generate insights that guide molecule design, prioritisation, and experimental strategy. You will join a global computational chemistry team spanning Sweden and the UK, working at the interface of chemistry, structural biology, biophysics, data science, and discovery biology. The team supports AstraZeneca's peptide portfolio across a broad range of therapeutic areas and is committed to combining scientific excellence with innovation in method development. In this highly collaborative environment, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across multiple programmes and to contribute to the evolution of our peptide design capabilities. This position is based at our vibrant R&D site in Gothenburg, Sweden. What you'll do: As an AI Computational Chemist (formal title: Senior Scientist), you will apply advanced computational approaches to support peptide-focused drug discovery, with particular emphasis on modelling, design, and analysis of complex datasets. You will contribute directly to project progression by generating high-quality computational insights and translating them into actionable recommendations for multidisciplinary teams. A key part of the role will be helping to build and apply AstraZeneca's future peptide design capabilities, including the use of AI and machine learning to inform molecule design and decision-making. You will work with contemporary computational methods such as molecular dynamics, free energy calculation approaches, structure-based design, and modern AI/ML techniques including co-folding, selecting and applying the right methods to address project-specific questions. You will also contribute to broader small molecule cheminformatics and virtual screening activities where these complement peptide discovery efforts or support wider hit-finding objectives. This aspect of the role is a valuable secondary component and will benefit from experience in data-driven compound prioritisation, workflow development, and computational support for early hit discovery. Success in this role will require scientific independence, creativity, and a strong foundation in computer-aided drug design. You will be expected to communicate complex findings clearly, influence project direction, and work closely with experimental scientists to help shape strategy and guide follow-up studies. Essential requirements: Our team is a highly collaborative group of scientists, working in an evolving technical and scientific landscape.
