Scientist/Sr. Scientist, Mechanistic Pharmacology
Superluminal Medicines Inc., Boston, Massachusetts, us, 02298
About the role
Superluminal Medicines is seeking a highly motivated and collaborative Scientist / Sr Scientist with experience in drug discovery and GPCR pharmacology to join their growing Biology team and foster the discovery of new medicines. This is a target- and biology-first drug discovery organization that applies AI/ML methods to common drug development bottlenecks, while integrating biology, chemistry, and computation. This is a unique opportunity to build a fruitful career, apply biology expertise to real-world problems, advance the practice of drug discovery, address unmet healthcare needs, and help patients worldwide. Key responsibilities
Provide robust biology support for Superluminal Medicines's research programs. Think critically through target biology and formulate experimental plans to guide project trajectory. Strategize and conduct cell biology experiments to support program enablement, drug discovery workflows, and mechanism of action evaluations. Demonstrate initiative and discipline to execute experiments following established procedures and suggest improvements to experimental design. Interpret and effectively communicate results to interdisciplinary teams composed of chemists, computational biologists, and machine learning scientists, in an environment that values scientific integrity and quality. Advance external collaborations and outsourced studies. Prepare technical reports to support regulatory submissions. Ensure compliance with company practices and procedures, including laboratory notebooks, file management, quality and regulatory guidelines, and safety. Qualifications & Skills
Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Biology, Pharmacology, or related discipline with 1-5 years of experience supporting drug discovery programs. Experience as biology lead of an agile team that supports fast implementation and rapid decision making, with coordination between internal and external parties. Theoretical understanding of GPCRs, small molecule pharmacology, cellular signaling pathways, and lead discovery and optimization practices. Technical proficiency in cellular assays and ability to provide high-quality in vitro results. Ability to strategize and implement cellular mechanism-of-action investigations to understand molecular pharmacology for key chemical entities. Strong laboratory techniques to support cell culture and cell-based assays. Enthusiasm for mastering complex laboratory instrumentation and related software for compound handling, cell-based assays, and database archiving.
