Scientist, Predictive Synthesis (Discovery Chemistry)

The Research Scientist will be supporting a high priority project within the Predictive Synthesis team in R&D Discovery Chemistry. This individual will be responsible for executing high‑throughput, nano‑scale synthetic chemistry experiments using automated, plate‑based workflows to rapidly generate high‑quality experimental data. The role is highly hands‑on and execution focused, requiring strong attention to detail, comfort with automation, and the ability to operate independently in a fast paced discovery environment.

Key Responsibilities

-Execute high‑throughput synthetic chemistry experiments using automated, plate‑based workflows (e.g., 1536‑well formats).
-Run nano‑scale chemical reactions using liquid handlers, gloveboxes, and laboratory automation platforms.
-Learn and execute predictive synthesis workflows to support discovery decision‑making.
-Deliver consistent experimental output, with expectations to complete two 1536‑well plates per week (~3,000 data points).
-Independently order reagents and building blocks required for experimental execution.
-Accurately document experiments, results, and observations in the appropriate Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) in accordance with internal standards.
-Ensure data quality, reproducibility, and traceability across all experiments.
-Collaborate with discovery chemistry and predictive synthesis teams to support project objectives.
