Sr. Scientist, Discovery Biology

Superluminal Medicines is a generative biology and chemistry company revolutionizing the speed and accuracy of how small molecule medicines are created. The Company’s platform aims to create candidate-ready compounds with unprecedented speed using a combination of deep biology, computational and medicinal chemistry, machine learning, and proprietary big data infrastructure. We are expanding the team of talented scientists who seek to build the future of small molecule drug discovery with creativity and innovation.

• This role is hands-on and wet lab-focused to drive programs from hit finding through all phases of early
  discovery.
• Independently design, develop and execute a broad array of cell-based assays to interrogate GPCR
  function and signaling.
• Generate, analyze, document, and upload experimental and routine screening data to company
  databases in a timely and accurate manner.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with computational, chemistry and protein science colleagues to
  conceptualize, design, and execute novel screening assays.
• Regularly communicate findings with program teams and present at project & company-wide meetings.
• Ensure compliance with established laboratory practices, SOPs, and company policies, including both
  wet lab and electronic data management requirements.

• Ph.D. in Biology or a related life sciences field, with 5 or more years of relevant industry experience.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience developing, executing, and interpreting cell-based assays using
  multiple assay formats and platforms, including functional assays, target engagement assays, kinetic
  assays, plate-based assays, flow cytometry, and high-content imaging.
• Small molecule drug discovery experience required.
• Demonstrated problem-solving skills and ability to develop innovative solutions to complex challenges.

• Experience with GPCR biology is highly desired.
• Experience with assay automation, high-throughput screening, or laboratory robotics is a plus.
• Management experience is a plus.
