Director, computational discovery

Estamos construyendo el futuro de la dermatología médica centrándonos en las necesidades no cubiertas de los pacientes y dando a las personas el espacio para pensar de forma independiente, asumir responsabilidades y generar un impacto que de verdad importe. Nuestro propósito es sencillo: transformar la vida de los pacientes abordando necesidades reales. Trabajamos con rigor, actuamos con valentía, simplificamos lo complejo y enfocamos la innovación allí donde realmente marca la diferencia. Reconocidos como Top Employer en España desde 2008 y en Alemania desde 2025, seguimos invirtiendo en un entorno donde las personas pueden crecer y avanzar. Si quieres hacer las cosas de otra manera, este es tu lugar. Join our Global R&D hub in Barcelona, where computational science meets human impact. Lead the teams, technologies and discoveries that will shape the future of therapeutic innovation. Mission The Director of Computational Discovery will lead the strategic, scientific and operational direction of computational discovery activities (Bioinformatics and Molecular modelling), with a primary focus on disease understanding, target identification, molecular modelling and early translational research.
