Purpose of Job
Develop new methods for the synthesis of organic molecules and prepare intermediates for the synthesis of these molecules. Apply modern techniques of organic synthesis including a variety of organic reactions at several scales, inert atmosphere techniques, thin-layer chromatography, NMR, LC-MS, HPLC, MS, flash chromatography, recrystallization, distillation, etc.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and implement synthetic routes for production of arrays of synthetic compounds
- Perform laboratory synthesis of organic molecules and prepare the intermediates for the synthesis of these molecules
- Apply modern techniques of organic synthesis including a variety of organic reactions at several scales, microwave chemistry, inert atmosphere techniques, LC-MS, HPLC, MS, flash chromatography, recrystallization, and distillation
- Maintains familiarity with scientific literature and applies appropriately to research projects
- Work with day-to-day supervision from the group leader
- Maintain accurate laboratory records
- Independently use appropriate analytical techniques to follow reactions
- Other reasonable duties may be assigned as necessary
Requirements:
- B.S. in Chemistry, Biochemistry or other relevant discipline
- 0-2 years biotech or pharma laboratory experience with small molecule screening or compound profiling in high throughput environment
