Postdoctoral Scientist – Synthetic & Medicinal Chemistry

Role: Postdoctoral Scientist specializing in Synthetic & Medicinal Chemistry within a multidisciplinary team, focusing on designing and synthesizing novel compounds and developing new synthetic methodologies. Objectives include advancing medicinal chemistry efforts, exploring single-electron chemistry techniques, and integrating enabling technologies like flow chemistry and automation. Responsibilities encompass executing synthetic reactions, purifying and characterizing compounds using modern analytical methods, applying and developing innovative chemical approaches, and contributing to process scale-up and instrumentation troubleshooting. Requirements include a PhD in synthetic or organic chemistry or related fields, with hands-on expertise in modern synthesis, purification, and analytical techniques. Preferred skills involve experience in photochemistry or electrochemistry, engineering acumen for reaction scale-up, knowledge of high-throughput and data science tools, and a track record of peer-reviewed publications. The role emphasizes innovative chemistry relevant to drug discovery pipelines, with potential travel between sites, in a lab environment, and exposure to chemical hazards. High-value biopharma specifics include a focus on medicinal chemistry, process development, and enabling technologies pertinent to early or late-stage drug discovery. The position offers a salary range of $58,000-$123,200, based on experience, with full-time benefits and potential for publication and external presentation. Collaboration spans chemists, engineers, and analytical scientists, with a primary reporting line to a scientific supervisor.
