• Contribute to the development of scalable extraction workflows at the frontier of natural product science and modern biotech

We’re Looking For

• Currently enrolled in or having completed a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in natural product chemistry, process chemistry, chemical engineering, or a related chemistry field
• Hands-on proficiency in extraction and isolation techniques such as flash chromatography, HPLC, or prep-HPLC, and a strong foundation in organic or natural products chemistry
• Someone who finds satisfaction in rigorous, methodical benchwork and understands that reproducibility and precision are the foundation of scalable, transferable chemistry
• A self-starter who can follow, execute, and iteratively improve SOPs, document experiments with care, and proactively communicate anomalies or unexpected results
• A collaborative teammate comfortable interfacing with both internal scientists and external CRO and CMO partners in a fast-paced, fully on-site environment
• A mission-driven scientist excited by the challenge of deriving medicines from natural products
