Senior Scientist/Principal Investigator, Medicinal Chemistry

 

The Senior Scientist/Principal Investigator will be responsible for designing novel molecules directed at one or more of our biological targets, while remaining a highly active experimentalist and leader in the laboratory. He/She will be a key member of one or more of our multi-disciplinary drug discovery teams. As a member of such teams, the candidate will be responsible for the identification and characterization of novel drug candidates and their advancement into clinical evaluation. The successful candidate will be an expert in various scientific disciplines in addition to medicinal chemistry, including immunology, cancer biology, pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism, and toxicology, among others.

The ideal candidate will hold a Ph.D. in synthetic organic chemistry and will have conducted post-doctoral research on a synthetic or biological project. Furthermore, the candidate is expected to have a minimum of 5 (Senior Scientist) or 10+ (Principal Investigator) years of research experience in a high-performance biotechnology environment and demonstrated success in multiple drug discovery efforts. The successful candidate will have an excellent scientific publication record and national reputation as a leader in his/her chosen field. The role demands a highly goal-driven approach and the ability to focus on time-sensitive objectives. The candidate should also enjoy operating in an exceptionally dynamic and cooperative environment in which the “rules book” has not yet been written.
