You will be responsible for designing and synthesizing new chemical entities, conducting in vitro and in vivo studies, and characterizing lead compounds for therapeutic potential. This position requires a deep understanding of drug discovery pipelines, target validation, and hit-to-lead optimization strategies. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including biologists, toxicologists, and clinical researchers, to advance drug candidates through the preclinical stages. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and experimental design skills are paramount. The ability to interpret complex scientific data, present findings effectively, and mentor junior scientists in a remote setting is essential. We are looking for a creative and driven scientist with a proven track record in pharmaceutical research and development. This is an exceptional opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge drug discovery efforts and make a profound impact on global health from a remote work environment.
Key Responsibilities:
The ideal candidate will hold a Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Pharmacology, or a related field, with a minimum of 7-9 years of postdoctoral and/or industry experience in drug discovery. Proven experience in small molecule synthesis, structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis, and hit-to-lead optimization is mandatory. Proficiency with modern analytical techniques (e.g., LC-MS, NMR) and biological assay development is required. A strong understanding of pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and drug development processes is essential. Excellent scientific judgment, problem-solving abilities, and strong written and verbal communication skills are necessary. The ability to work effectively in a fully remote research setting is a must. This role is fully remote, supporting critical research that could impact therapeutic development for conditions relevant to populations potentially near Naivasha, Nakuru, KE , and beyond.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and synthesize novel small molecules with therapeutic potential.
- Conduct in vitro and in vivo assays to evaluate drug efficacy and safety.
- Perform DMPK studies to characterize drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
- Optimize lead compounds through medicinal chemistry efforts.
- Collaborate with biologists and pharmacologists to define and validate drug targets.
- Develop and execute experimental plans for drug discovery projects.
- Analyze and interpret complex scientific data, generating high-quality reports.
- Stay abreast of the latest scientific literature and technological advancements in drug discovery.
- Mentor and guide junior scientists, fostering a collaborative research environment.
- Ensure adherence to laboratory safety regulations and best practices.
- Contribute to the strategic planning of the drug discovery portfolio.
