Scientist - Preformulation

BioTalent is supporting an innovative biotech seeking a Scientist or Scientist II to lead preformulation activities across novel small molecule discovery programs.This is a highly hands-on role, with approximately 70% laboratory work and the opportunity to influence programs from early discovery through IND submission.Key ResponsibilitiesLead preformulation studies supporting candidate selection and progressionPerform hands-on laboratory work including Differential Scanning Calorimitry (DSC), melting point, solubility and Supersaturated Gel Formation (SGF)Develop and utilize HPLC-based analytical methodsPartner closely with Discovery, Pharmacology, DMPK and CMC teamsSupport external CROs while retaining internal scientific ownershipContribute data packages supporting IND-enabling activitiesIdeal BackgroundPhD + 3-4 years, MS + 6-8 years, or BS + 10+ years of relevant industry experienceStrong preformulation experience within small molecule drug discoveryExperience characterizing new molecular entities and assessing developabilityExposure to programs progressing from discovery into development, ideally through INDHands-on scientist who enjoys working at the bench rather than primarily managing outsourced workWhy Join?Become the key bridge between Discovery and CMC DevelopmentDirectly influence candidate selection and formulation strategyBuild expertise and potentially help establish future preformulation capabilities within the organizationHigh-visibility role with significant scientific impact across the pipelineFor a confidential discussion, please contact Greg Hammond at BioTalent.
