As a Senior Research Scientist Organic Chemistry you will be part of a chemistry team focusing on the identification, exploration and implementation of new synthetic methodologies and automation technologies and their application to drug discovery. Key focus will be on high throughput experimentation and automated compound library synthesis for the purpose of accelerating internal projects from hit generation through to candidate selection. In addition to expertise in organic synthesis, the position requires a strong technical interest.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

* Synthesize and purify compounds and compound libraries, covering the full spectrum of synthetic complexity and demands including compounds for biological testing, route design and development, quantities ranging from sub-milligram to gram scale.
* Plan, prioritise and perform own work and actively collaborate with project teams e.g. compound library design, chemistry experiment design and application of available technology.
* Drive the development and adoption of cutting-edge technologies to support the automated synthesis of new compounds.
* Identify, develop and apply new, cutting-edge synthetic approaches.
