Descrição da oferta de emprego

Postdoctoral Fellow in Flow electrochemistry F/M

We are an international and independent pharmaceutical group with a human scale, governed by a Foundation. Our unique model is our pride but, above all, it enables us to fully serve our vocation: “Committed to therapeutic progress for the benefit of patients”.

A global leader in cardiology today, we have chosen to become a focused and innovative player in oncology by 2030, by targeting hard-to-treat cancers and dedicating more than 70% of our R&D budget to them. This is a challenge we are pursuing alongside the development of our generic business to ensure access to quality healthcare for all, at a lower cost.

Who are we? 22,000 passionate employees of more than 50 nationalities, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit. Every day, we move forward with and for patients, with and for our teams, driven by the desire to care, to dare, to develop, and to commit ourselves to being useful to those who need it.

Come and experience our commitment, and help us bring it to life #MovedByYou

Your work will focus on two strategic pillars: driving synthetic excellence and building an automated, data-driven research platform. You will support medicinal chemistry teams in the synthesis of target molecules, metabolites, and late-stage functionalization (LSF). Simultaneously, you will play a leading role in developing an AI-enabled flow electro(photo)chemistry platform, using data-driven approaches to transform how we optimize reactions and generate scientific knowledge.

Main Responsibilities

• Implement cutting-edge electrochemical methodologies to address complex synthetic challenges.
• Support Medicinal Chemistry projects through electrochemical transformations in both flow and batch modes.
• Deploy benchtop in-line NMR analysis for real-time reaction monitoring and process control.
• Establish and manage an AI-enabled, automated flow electro(photo)chemistry platform.
• Ensure rigorous data management and communicate results effectively across multidisciplinary and international teams.

Required Skills and Experience

• Educational Background: PhD in Organic Chemistry with a clear specialization in flow electrochemistry.
• Demonstrated experience in organic and flow electrochemistry, complemented by up-to-date knowledge of photochemical transformations.
• Proficiency in data-driven reaction optimization, including Bayesian Optimization and Design-of-Experiments such as Latin Hypercube Sampling.
• Experience with laboratory automation, instrument control, and hardware–software integration. Programming skills in Python and familiarity with Git and AI-assisted coding tools are strong assets.
• Ability to work independently, strong problem-solving skills, and a collaborative mindset suited for an international R&D environment.
• Communication: Excellent scientific English (written and oral).

We are committed to equal opportunity and the development of talent in all its diversity. We value experience as much as the desire to commit daily to being useful to therapeutic progress for the benefit of patients. If you recognize yourself in this offer and these few lines, take this opportunity to meet us.
