Senior Scientist, Muscle Biology & Energy Metabolism

Role: Senior Scientist in the Obesity, Metabolism and Muscle Diseases Group, focused on identifying and validating drug targets for metabolic disorders. Responsibilities include designing and executing in vitro (e.g., myotube models, biomarker testing) and in vivo studies in animal models to elucidate muscle and metabolic phenotypes, applying histological techniques, analyzing data, and communicating progress across teams. Core qualifications: Ph.D. with at least 3 years postdoctoral experience; expertise in skeletal muscle physiology, energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, and muscle-organ crosstalk relevant to obesity and diabetes. Skills required: independent study design, molecular and functional assay execution, data interpretation, and scientific communication; experience with muscle histology and knowledge of human/mouse genetics are preferred. The role is laboratory-based, located onsite in Tarrytown, NY, with an emphasis on fast-paced multi-project management and collaboration across scientific functions. High-value biopharma specifics include focus on metabolic disease pathways, candidate-driven target validation, and engagement with drug discovery processes.
