University of California, San Francisco
Scientist or Senior Scientist, high-throughput screening, fragment-based drug discovery The Small Molecule Discovery Center (SMDC) at UCSF is seeking a highly collaborative biochemist, biophysicist, or structural biologist with a passion for chemical biology and drug discovery. The SMDC is a research collaboratory that works with UCSF and external researchers to develop chemical probes and drug leads using a variety of methods, including fragment-based drug discovery and high-throughput screening. The successful applicant will implement biophysical and structural technologies such as surface plasmon resonance, mass spectrometry, and high-throughput crystallography to discover and validate small-molecule probes and leads. We have a particular interest in addressing so-called ‘undruggable’ targets. Scientists who enjoy working on diverse methodologies and thrive in a team-oriented, multi-disciplinary environment are ideally suited for this position. The position will report to Dr. Michelle Arkin, Professor and Chair of Pharmaceutical Chemistry. The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry is one of the three departments in the School of Pharmacy, one of the top ranked schools of Pharmacy in the US. When biomedical research at UCSF uncovers new potential targets for drug discovery, the SMDC works with researchers to develop chemical tools and drug leads to further understand and exploit these targets for human health.
