Organic Synthesis Chemist

About the role

We are looking for an experienced organic synthesis chemist to work on novel organic compounds, including lipids, nucleosides, nucleotides, and small molecule APIs, who is able to obtain quality results both independently and within a team environment with minimal supervision. The focus is on bench chemistry — the design, execution, and iterative optimzation of a large number of different multi-step organic synthesis processes.

What you'll do

• Design the route of synthesis for and performing multistep organic synthesis and analysis of novel small molecules, nucleosides, nucleotides and lipids
• Perform chemical purification using a variety of techniques, including various kinds of chromatography
• Perform analysis of chemical compounds using methods such as HPLC, TLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry
• Maintain a safe and clean lab environment while following all relevant laws and regulations relevant to the experiments being performed
• Help the manufacturing team design and transfer scaled-up versions of synthetic procedures originated in the lab to production facilities

What you need

• 3–6 yrs of experience
• GMP
• HPLC
• Chemistry
• Communication
• Clinical research
• PhD
