The Laboratoire dInfochime of the Strasbourg University (Prof. A. Varnek, 
http://infochim.u-strasbg.fr/index.php) offers a 12-month postdoctoral 
fellowship in the field of chemoinformatics.
The goal of this project, under the supervision of Dr. Dragos Horvath and 
in collaboration with a major pharmaceutical company, is to design novel 
intelligent compound library enrichment strategies, i.e. to conceive, 
program and apply novel tools aimed at prioritizing commercially available, 
or virtual but chemically feasible compounds, according to their potential 
interest to enrich the compound collection of the industrial partner.   
The candidate must have an expertise in chemoinformatics, 
in order to be able to program software tools that are both chemically 
meaningful and fast enough in order to browse through the millions of 
molecule candidates accessible in electronic databases. 
Expertise in the fields of molecular descriptors (knowledge of existing
  fragment counts, pharmacophore fingerprints  and design of new terms), 
structure-activity relationships and machine learning is highly appreciated.
Therefore, the candidate is expected to have a Ph.D. degree in the field of
empirical computational chemistry (chemoinformatics, force field approaches)
of small organic molecules. Additionally,  expertise in organic/medicinal 
chemistry would of course be of added value..
