Medicinal Organic Chemist - Chemical Biology (BS or MS)

Job Description Lab-based role carrying out multi-step organic chemistry synthesis routes to prepare organic molecules testing molecular biology hypotheses and disease-related pathways. Use mechanistic organic chemistry to perform functional group transformations and build complex structures. Use modern purification techniques for final product isolation; gather and analyze characterization data for structural confirmation. Analyze assay results using data tools and Data Science/A.I. to support the Design, Make, Test, Analyze (DMTA) cycle. Key Responsibilities Design compounds based on team or individual hypotheses and perform multi-step syntheses of small molecules. Analyze and interpret data; troubleshoot synthetic issues; design follow-up experiments. Collaborate effectively as part of a cross-functional team. Adhere to laboratory safety policies and practices. Essential Requirements BS or MS in chemistry; 0–5 years of industrial experience (not a PhD-level position). Mechanistic understanding of organic chemistry; knowledge of modern organic synthetic methods (medicinal chemistry knowledge is a plus). Familiarity with common synthesis, purification, and analytical techniques. Strong problem-solving and communication skills. Desirable Requirements Expertise in chemical biology and synthesis of chemical probes. Hands-on experience across a wide range of compound classes, including practical techniques, method development, and purification techniques. Compensation and Benefits (as stated) Salary range: Research Scientist I $66,800–$124,000; Research Scientist II $81,200–$150,800; plus performance-based cash incentive and potential annual equity awards (level-dependent). US-based employees receive a comprehensive benefits package including health, life and disability, 401(k) with match, and time off. #J-18808-Ljbffr Scorpion Therapeutics
