About The Position
Small Molecular Therapeutics and Platform Technologies (SMTPT) within Discovery Research seeks an accomplished scientist to lead a team of medicinal chemists within the Global Medicinal Chemistry (GMEC) organization. GMEC is committed to delivering first and best-in-class small molecules in conventional and unconventional drug-like space with the potential to improve human health. The Principal Research Scientist I/Senior Scientist II will lead a team of chemists designing and synthesizing peptides (or other small molecule modalities) aimed at identifying and advancing promising low dose leads (responsibility for lead generation through candidate nomination). She/He/They will be responsible for managing a diverse team of scientists who design and synthesize peptide drug candidates for novel targets throughout AbbVie's drug discovery pipeline. She/He/They may serve as Chemistry Lead for some of these efforts. She/He/They will also be a strong synthetic chemist who has demonstrated high productivity in synthesizing complex organic molecules including peptides. She/He/They and team will develop novel medicinal chemistry strategies and execute multiparametric optimization(s) of drug candidate properties in a highly collaborative environment aimed at accelerating the delivery of a sustainable pipeline of first in class/breakthrough peptide drug candidates with transformative potential.
