Key Responsibilities:
- Provide independent scientific and technical leadership to drive early discovery research focused on osteoporosis and skeletal biology (target evaluation, hypothesis generation, mechanism-based therapeutic strategies).
- Maintain a hands-on laboratory presence, developing and executing in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models and assays to support preclinical drug discovery.
- Design and conduct experiments for target validation, preclinical pharmacology, and mechanism-of-action studies focused on bone remodeling and skeletal integrity.
- Serve as a core biology lead within cross-functional project teams, partnering with medicinal chemistry, translational, and safety colleagues.
- Function independently while contributing effectively in a team-oriented lab environment.
- Provide scientific mentorship and supervision to 1–2 scientists (performance feedback and career development support as appropriate).
- Ensure high data quality and scientific rigor (accurate documentation, independent data analysis, and clear communication in written/oral formats).

- Master’s degree in biology, biophysics, biochemistry, bioengineering, or related STEM field with 8+ years of relevant industry experience.
Additional/Preferred Qualifications:
- Deep expertise in bone biology (osteoblast/osteoclast biology, bone remodeling, or endocrine regulation of skeletal health).
- 2 years Post Doc training.
- Hands-on experience with preclinical in vivo osteoporosis models and supporting in vitro/ex vivo systems.
- Track record of implementing/advancing novel assays or research platforms.
- Strong scientific communication skills; experience presenting data in multidisciplinary settings.
- Initiative, sound scientific judgment, and comfort operating under ambiguity.
- Experience spanning osteoporosis and women’s health disorders (e.g., endometriosis, preeclampsia, PCOS, menopause-related preclinical research) is a plus.
Compensation & Benefits:
- Anticipated wage: $138,000–$224,400.
- Eligible for company bonus (depending on company and individual performance).
- Comprehensive benefits for eligible employees, including 401(k), pension, vacation, medical/dental/vision/prescription benefits, flexible benefits, life insurance/death benefits, time off/leave of absence, and well-being benefits.
