Scientist - Preformulation

Bio Talent 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
.

• Lead preformulation studies supporting candidate selection and progression
• Perform hands-on laboratory work including Differential Scanning Calorimitry (DSC), melting point, solubility and Supersaturated Gel Formation (SGF)
• Develop and utilize HPLC-based analytical methods
• Partner closely with Discovery, Pharmacology, DMPK and CMC teams
• Support external CROs while retaining internal scientific ownership

• PhD + 3-4 years, MS + 6-8 years, or BS + 10+ years of relevant industry experience
• Strong preformulation experience within small molecule drug discovery
• Experience characterizing new molecular entities and assessing develop ability
• Exposure to programs progressing from discovery into development, ideally through IND
• Hands-on scientist who enjoys working at the bench rather than primarily managing outsourced work

• Become the key bridge between Discovery and CMC Development
• Directly influence candidate selection and formulation strategy
• Build expertise and potentially help establish future preformulation capabilities within the organization
• High-visibility role with significant scientific impact across the pipeline
