Scientist , Bioanalytical

Help drive Nurix’s drug discovery programs by turning complex biological samples into the high-quality bioanalytical data that guides decisions. You will develop and run LC-MS/MS assays for targeted protein degrader candidates and work closely with pharmacology, chemistry and biology teams.

Nurix Therapeutics is searching for a motivated Scientist 1 to join our Bioanalytical team. The successful candidate will contribute to the bioanalytical efforts to support Nurix drug discovery programs involving in vivo and in vitro studies. The primary responsibility will be to conduct quantitative bioanalysis for in vivo samples. The scope of the daily responsibilities for this position includes, but is not limited to, developing bioanalytical methods, quantitating drug candidates and their metabolites, endogenous biomarkers in biological matrix (e.g. blood, plasma, tissues, tumor, CSF, etc.),

and reporting high-quality data. The successful candidate will have extensive experience in bioanalytical method development and sample analysis using LC-MS/MS and other analytical techniques.
