Responsibilities:

• Scientific Communications & External Leadership
  • Publish & Speak: Take a leading role in writing and publishing peer-reviewed papers, white papers, and clinical data presentations. Actively represent Click at external scientific, medical, and industry conferences.

If you do not yet view AI as an essential partner in your daily pursuit of excellence, you will find it impossible to keep pace with our mission. High performers who harness AI technology to transcend traditional boundaries and set new benchmarks for professional excellence will thrive at Click.

• Education: A doctoral/professional degree (MD, PhD, PsyD, PharmD) is required.

• Industry Experience: 5+ years of experience in the life sciences, digital health, or pharmaceutical industry within a regulated space. Prior experience in product development, Medical Affairs, Scientific Affairs, or Commercial/BD enablement is highly desired.
• External Presence: Established record and proven willingness to write, publish, and speak externally.
• Work Style: Highly flexible, adaptable, and action-oriented. Not overly process-driven; able to thrive in a fast-paced environment and roll up your sleeves to support various products and initiatives simultaneously.

Click Therapeutics also complies with all applicable national, state and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment as well as employment eligibility verification requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act. All applicants must have authorization to work for Click Therapeutics in the U.S. In certain circumstances it may be advantageous to Click Therapeutics to support the application(s) for temporary visa classification and/or sponsor applications for permanent residence so that a foreign national colleague can accept or remain in a work assignment in the U. S. For certain classes of temporary visas, the resulting work authorization may be specific to Click Therapeutics and the specific job and/or work site. Click Therapeutics may at its business discretion decide to or refrain from obtaining, maintaining and/or extending the temporary visa status and/or sponsoring a colleague for permanent residency and /or employment eligibility, considering factors such as availability of qualified U.S. workers and the colleague's long-term prospects for securing lawful permanent residence, among other reasons. Employment applicants requiring immigration sponsorship must disclose, when initial application for employment is made, whether or not they are legally authorized to work for Click Therapeutics in the U.S. and, if so, whether that authorization permits them to work in the job they seek. In no case should Click Therapeutics support of a colleague's temporary visa application or sponsorship of a colleague for permanent residence be construed to guarantee success of that application or amend or otherwise invalidate the "at-will" employment relationship between the colleague and Click Therapeutics.
