Lead computational chemistry contributions to drug programmes from early discovery towards candidate selection. Combine structure-based and ligand-based design with AI predictions, work closely with machine-learning scientists and experimental teams, and guide external research activities. The role includes scientific leadership and mentoring. The employer’s exact vacancy accepts applications without a stated fixed deadline.

John Wingfield and Fran Bonier discuss how hormones help wild animals respond to social challenges, seasons and environmental stress. The conversation examines the challenge hypothesis, emergency life-history transitions and allostasis, drawing on studies of wild birds. Wingfield also reflects on scientific leadership and advice for early-career researchers.
