Synthetic Chemist

Description

We are seeking a passionate PhD-level synthetic chemist to drive the discovery of small molecules for next-generation 3D printing resins . This position involves rapid exploration of chemical space through organic synthesis to develop photochemical and photophysical structure-property relationships. This role will be particularly appealing to chemists with a passion for both synthetic and physical organic chemistry. Our process uses a small amount of each lead candidate, so synthetic creativity is not limited by the scalability concerns that usually narrow the available chemical space in materials applications.

Responsibilities

• Design, execute, and troubleshoot small molecule synthetic routes, with a focus on divergent or modular approaches to rapidly generate lead candidates.
• Characterize lead candidates via UPLC, NMR, UV / Vis and IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.
• Contribute to the development of high-throughput analytical capabilities, small molecule databases, and virtual libraries.
• Work with cross-functional teammates to explore photochemical and photophysical structure–property relationships that drive 3D printing performance.
• Mentor junior scientists.
• Maintain excellent electronic lab notebook documentation.
