  • Design and run high-throughput experiments on a miniaturized scale using automation equipment, continuously implementing new methodologies and innovative technologies to expand the current capabilities.
  • Build up photo-redox high-throughput experimentation to rapidly screen various different chemistries with low material consumption.
  • Propose and implement innovative and pragmatic solutions to synthetic and technical problems.
  • Closely collaborate with project teams to influence and guide the opportunities of late-stage functionalization, library synthesis, and other digital and/or automation applications.
  • Work on cutting-edge innovation at the crossroads of automation, digitalization, medicinal chemistry, and compound synthesis.

About You

We are looking for a graduated PhD student who will be available to join our department between July and September 2024. The candidate should possess a very strong background in high-throughput experimentation to accelerate the synthesis of chemical matter for Medicinal Chemistry. In particular, the candidate should bring:

  • Demonstrated ability to set up and lead the high-throughput experimentation (HTE) operations in a renowned academic lab.
  • Excellent expertise in automation technology and maintenance of the equipment, especially solid dosing and liquid handling connecting with state-of-the-art analytical and purification methodologies.
  • Strong background in synthetic methodology development with a focus on photo-redox chemistry, amine synthesis, and organometallic reactions.
  • Passion for small molecule synthesis and hands-on chemistry experimentation in the laboratory.
  • Preferentially one year of professional experience in the industry within a strong synthetic environment.
  • Solid understanding of machine learning concepts for reaction prediction and associated data set requirements. Experience of collecting reaction datasets for machine learning.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills combined with strong interpersonal abilities to build meaningful relationships across the department and project teams.
