Research Associate (Protein Biology

Ten
63 Therapeutics is focused on improving human health by developing better, more durable therapeutics against cancer and some of the world's most lethal diseases. We are leveraging our proprietary in silico platform BEYOND to generate novel therapeutics to hit previously undruggable targets. We're pioneering an engineered approach to drug discovery by scaling quantum simulations and fusing them with generative chemistry to tackle previously undruggable, high-impact targets.

Our team of pioneering scientists, engineers, drug hunters, and quantum chemists values passion, teamwork, out of the box thinking and determination to solve even what seems impossible. We embrace diversity and are committed towards inclusion.

Position Overview

We are seeking a motivated Research Associate to join Ten
63's Biology team. You will be part of a multi-functional lab-based Biology team working side-by-side to tackle challenging drug discovery projects.
