The researcher will be a member of the research and development team at the at Innovative Medicine R&D center in Toledo, interacting closely with medicinal, analytical and computational chemists. During the internship the researcher will acquire abilities in the use of computational tools as well as analytical techniques such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to support activities within the drug discovery workflow.

In particular, the researcher will work in the area of Structural Chemistry with the aim of determining the 3D structures of small molecules in solution. He/she will gain ample expertise in the interpretation of NMR spectra for structure determination and will use computational tools such as conformational searches, docking and molecular dynamics simulations. During the 12 months period at the Janssen R&D center, the researcher will receive both practical and theoretical training on structural, computational and medicinal chemistry, as well as in the communication of scientific results.
