Job Description
The Centralized Organic Synthesis Group (COSG) is a team of synthetic organic chemists that works at the interface between Medicinal and Process Chemistry. The group works directly with small molecule Discovery project teams from preLead Optimization through the clinical candidate nomination process. The team is charged with providing chemistry strategies novel cores and intermediates for structureactivity relationships optimized routes for active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and is expected to be a source for synthetic expertise. As project teams proceed toward a clinical candidate COSG chemists execute largescale synthesis campaigns to support preclinical toxicology studies and transfer highquality synthetic routes to the Process Chemistry team. COSG chemists are exposed to several projects at once and are expected to collaborate with all relevant stakeholders and technical experts to achieve project and Discovery goals. The applicant must have a passion for handson synthetic organic chemistry.
