Drug Discovery Scientist

What You'll Do6

• Design research challenges around a hidden basin, the single conclusion the evidence makes inevitable, and the forcing chain that leads a solver there.
• Assemble a data room from real, source-grounded material, with every decisive value traceable to its original source.
• Write the grading document that scores a submitted memo on scientific substance instead of style or method.
• Run verification and calibration passes on each task before submitting it for review.
• Rework any task a reviewer flags, since the final version stays in your hands.
• Act as the final authority on scientific accuracy and difficulty level inside your own task.

Requirements6

• Working expertise in mechanistic enzymology, structure-guided peptide or antibody design, fragment-based discovery, or structure-based medicinal chemistry.
• A PhD or an equivalent industry track record in one of those areas.
• Ability to pose a problem with a defensible answer that a skilled solver cannot shortcut.
• Comfort judging the quality of reasoning, not only the final answer someone submits.
• Capacity for 20 to 40 hours of work each week.
• Access to Claude Code and a Claude Max subscription, which the company reimburses.

Who Should Apply

Scientists with hands-on depth in mechanistic enzymology, peptide or antibody design, fragment-based discovery, or structure-based medicinal chemistry. The role fits someone who can defend a conclusion under scrutiny and spot weak reasoning inside another person's memo. PhD or an equivalent industry record preferred.
