Role Overview
A Biochemical/Organic Chemistry Researcher leads the design, synthesis, and analysis of organic molecules and biochemical systems, driving discoveries in areas such as drug development, materials science, and metabolic engineering.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and perform laboratory experiments to synthesize, purify, and characterize organic compounds using techniques like chromatography, NMR, MS, and IR spectroscopy.
• Develop and validate biochemical assays to study enzyme activity, metabolic pathways, or molecular interactions.
• Analyze experimental data, troubleshoot protocols, and optimize reaction conditions for yield, selectivity, and scalability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., pharmacology, process development, analytical) to translate bench research into applied solutions.
• Draft technical reports, present findings at internal meetings and scientific conferences, and contribute to peer-reviewed publications.
• Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory standards in chemical handling and laboratory practices.

Qualifications & Skills

• PhD (or MS with significant experience) in Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Biology, or related field.
• Hands-on expertise in organic synthesis and purification techniques, and proficiency with analytical instrumentation (HPLC, GC, NMR, MS).
• Experience developing and running biochemical or cell-based assays.
• Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and comfort working both independently and in teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for clear documentation and dissemination of research outcomes.
• Familiarity with computational tools for data analysis and molecular modeling is a plus.
