Synthetic Drug Design Lead, London:

About Isomorphic Labs:

Isomorphic Labs is a new Alphabet company that is reimagining drug discovery through a computational
- and AI-first approach.

We are on a mission to accelerate the speed, increase the efficacy and lower the cost of drug discovery.

You'll be working at the cutting edge of the new era of 'digital biology' to deliver a transformative social impact for the benefit of millions of people.

Come and be part of a multi-disciplinary team driving groundbreaking innovation and play a meaningful role in contributing towards us achieving our ambitious goals, while being a part of an inspiring, collaborative and entrepreneurial culture.

About the Synthetic Drug Design Team:

We are a growing team of Medicinal, Synthetic and CMC chemists who sit within the Drug Design and Medical Research function at Isomorphic Labs.

Depending on our domain expertise, we lead Medicinal Chemistry projects (with emphasis in Lead Op), CMC or PRD projects.

We use our domain knowledge to work collaboratively with our AI/ML colleagues to build the Platform and drive forward success and innovation in drug design.

We work closely together in a supportive environment, where everyone is valued for the expertise and experience they bring to the group.

Your impact:

As part of the ongoing expansion of our Drug Design and Medical Research function, we are looking to recruit a number of Medicinal Chemistry positions in our Synthetic Drug Design Team.

If you are a skilled and ambitious scientist looking to take the next step in your career, joining Isomorphic Labs now will lift you out of your comfort zone and provide you with an amazing opportunity for personal growth and development.

Please note that there is some degree of flexibility around the level of seniority in the position -
you're ideally somewhere between Research Scientist and Research Leader but we will need you to take an active hands-on role as an individual contributor rather than being a people manager.

What you will do:

Collaborate both internally and with third party organisations, interacting within multidisciplinary teams, to support datadriven delivery of high quality scientific solutions to complex technical problems.
Represent the company externally, interacting with existing and prospective collaborators and Contract Research Organisations (CROs)
Manage CRO resources and other members of the growing team, mentoring and supporting their development.
Prepare detailed scientific proposals and reports to support new and ongoing programs.
Embrace and champion our culture of inclusion and continuous professional development.

Skills and qualifications:

Essential:

PhD in Chemistry or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
Strong Synthetic Chemistry skills
Good foundation in medicinal chemistry with a minimum of 5+ years previous industrial experience operating as a chemistry lead within a pharma/biotech/CRO setting.
Experience of working with and closely managing CRO resources.
Track record of authorship of relevant scientific manuscripts and inventorship of composition of matter patents.

Culture and values:

What does it take to be successful at IsoLabs? It's not about finding people who think and act in the same way, but we do have some shared values:

Thoughtful
Thoughtful at Iso is about curiosity, creativity and care. It is about good people doing good, rigorous and future-making science every single day.

Brave
Brave at Iso is about fearlessness, but it's also about initiative and integrity. The scale of the challenge demands nothing less.

Determined
Determined at Iso is the way we pursue our goal. It's a confidence in our hypothesis, as well as the urgency and agility needed to deliver on it. Because disease won't wait, so neither should we.

In this together
Together at Iso is about connection, collaboration across fields and catalytic relationships.

It's knowing that transformation is a group project, and remembering that what we're doing will have a real impact on real people everywhere.

Creating an inclusive company:

We realise that to be successful we need our teams to reflect and represent the populations we are striving to serve.

We're working to build a supportive and inclusive environment where collaboration is encouraged and learning is shared. We value diversity of experience, knowledge, backgrounds and perspectives and harness these qualities to create extraordinary impact.

We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis protected by applicable law.
