  • Someone with experience in a fast-paced industrial environment, working extensively with multiple teams across different departments.

What you will do:
  • Contribute to the buildout and expansion of an experimental gene-to-structure pipeline
  • Contribute to hiring and managing a team of scientists
  • Oversee, manage, and coordinate resource allocation
  • Occasionally perform structure determination experiments (X-ray crystallography and/or cryo-EM)
  • Proactively participate in drug discovery programs, from conception to execution and delivery, in collaboration with chemistry and biology teams

What you should have:
  • PhD in Structural Biology
  • 3-5 years of postdoctoral experience
