The role may also include additional responsibilities related to R&D activities, as may be assigned by the supervisor and senior management.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform multi‑step synthesis (3–10 steps) of small molecules, fragments, and building blocks to support internal and collaborative drug discovery efforts (milligram to gram scale)
  • Design and execute synthesis, purification, and characterization of small molecules, macrocycles, and intermediates using solution or solid‑phase methods
  • Purify compounds using flash chromatography, HPLC, crystallization, or distillation, and perform analytical characterization (NMR, IR, LC‑MS)
  • Contribute to the development and optimization of synthetic routes for target molecules and intermediates
  • Maintain accurate experimental records and ensure compliance with laboratory safety and operational procedures
  • Prepare synthetic procedures and present results internally or at scientific meetings as required
  • Support other R&D activities as assigned by the supervisor
  • Plan work and complete tasks on schedule
  • Maintain up‑to‑date records for all work performed and ensure a safe workplace
  • Comply with all applicable laboratory safety and operational regulations and procedures

Experience and Skills Required

  • M.Sc. in Chemistry or related discipline with a focus on organic synthesis
  • 3–5 years of relevant experience in the pharmaceutical or biotech industry, preferably in a Contract Research Organization (CRO) environment
  • Strong knowledge of modern organic chemistry, laboratory techniques, and analytical methods (NMR, MS, IR, chromatography, HPLC)
  • Experience or strong interest in macrocyclic compound synthesis
  • Familiarity with solid‑phase, combinatorial, or peptide chemistry is considered an asset
  • Proficiency with standard computer programs, chemical drawing tools, and electronic laboratory notebooks (ELN)
  • Flexibility and ability to work successfully in a fast‑paced, multidisciplinary, dynamic environment
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail and goal‑oriented mindset
  • Excellent oral and written communication and presentation skills
  • Excellent organizational skills and proven ability to work effectively in a team environment
