Team Lead/Senior Scientist- Computational Chemistry (NCI) with Security - (Frederick, MD)

Description: PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Cancer Research Technology Program (CRTP) develops and implements emerging technology, cancer biology ability and research capabilities to accomplish NCI research objectives. The CRTP is an outward-facing, multi-disciplinary hub purposed to enable the external cancer research community. A major focus of the CRTP is the NCI RAS Initiative with the goal to discover new therapeutic interventions against RAS-driven cancers. KEY ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES The Cancer Research Technology Program (CRTP) within the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR) serves as the hub for the NCI RAS Initiative. 1 of the major objectives of the RAS initiative is to carry out structure-based drug discovery to identify lead compounds against RAS-driven cancers. The applicant will join the RAS Initiative and initiate/lead the projects on developing and optimizing small molecules for use as RAS inhibitors.
