Subject: New Research Group for Computational Biochemistry

Dear Bino,

We are assembling a world-class team to participate in the development
of new technology designed to fundamentally transform the field of
drug discovery. This research group, located in New York City, focuses
on molecular modeling for drug development and is in need of
outstanding computational chemists, biologists and physicists. I am
hoping to spark your interest (or would be grateful for any referrals
you can provide of gifted scientists or engineers).

I hope you will have a moment to review the job description pasted below.
I would be delighted to hear from you either by phone or email and
happy to answer questions or provide additional information.

Please feel free to forward this message to anyone you deem appropriate.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Best regards,
Michelle Byington

COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY

Extraordinarily gifted computational chemists at all levels of
experience sought to join a select research group within a rapidly
growing New York-based technology firm known for scientific leadership
in the development of computational chemistry software for the
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.  We are looking for
individuals with an exceptionally distinguished history of academic
and/or industrial accomplishment to join our efforts to fundamentally
transform the process of drug discovery.

Candidates should have world-class credentials in computational
chemistry, biology, or physics, or in a relevant area of computer
science or applied mathematics, and must have unusually strong
research and software engineering skills.  Relevant areas of
experience might include the computation of protein-ligand binding
free energies, molecular dynamics and/or Monte Carlo simulations of
biomolecular systems, application of statistical mechanics to
biomolecular systems, free energy perturbation methods, and methods
for speeding up evaluation of electrostatic energies -- but specific
knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than exceptional
intellectual ability and a demonstrated track record of achievement.
Current areas of activity for the firm include structure- and
ligand-based drug design, protein structure determination through
homology modeling, molecular mechanics force field development, de
novo drug design algorithms, and the development of special-purpose
hardware to accelerate computational chemistry simulations.

We are eager to add both senior- and junior-level members to our
world-class team (including at least one group head with management
responsibilities), and are prepared to offer above-market compensation
to candidates of truly exceptional ability.  Please send your resume
(including list of publications, thesis topic, and advisor, if
applicable), along with the attached data sheet to
