Do you want to re-write the drug discovery and development rule book? Are you a scientist who likes to think laterally and push the boundaries of science? Cellarity is seeking an intellectually curious Principal Scientist with a focus in Hematology to join our remarkable team. As a subject matter expert, you will have a significant role in shaping the pipeline across a portfolio of Hematology programs. You will help move the needle on the interpretation and translation of our research to clinical relevance harnessing the power of AI and computational insights and lead programs across the hematology space. This role will involve strong collaboration with key stakeholders throughout the process including biology, computational sciences, and chemistry.
 
What if you could leverage your unique scientific and medical acumen to re-shape how drug discovery is done?

What you would be responsible for:

• Directly manage a small team of wet-lab biologists and cross-functionally lead a program team in a hematological indication.
• Work collaboratively within the biology team to establish and manage timelines, workflows, and documentation. 
• Present and interpret data, while thinking critically, and propose next steps both internally and externally.
• Engage in productive collaborations with relevant internal stakeholders, while also developing and maintaining a robust network of external collaborators to facilitate studies.
• Provide guidance to and motivate team of junior scientist(s) within the biology team.

What experiences will you need:

• Ph.D. in Biological Sciences is a prerequisite.
• A minimum of 5 years' experience in preclinical drug discovery within the pharmaceutical or biotech industry, showcasing a strong understanding of late discovery and IND-enabling studies.
• Proven expertise in leading at least one cross-functional drug discovery program.
• Extensive scientific research background with a specific focus on Hematology.

What sets you apart:

• Preferred experience in the development of small molecules and a comprehensive understanding of regulatory activities in the US and EU.
• Ability to flex and work with a sense of urgency around changing priorities and facilitating timelines.
• Sophisticated problem-solving skills and data interpretation, and statistical understanding is a plus.

Company Summary: Cellarity’s mission is to fundamentally redesign the way drugs are created for the sake of bringing new hope to patients. By shifting the focus from a single target to the underlying cellular dysfunction, we unravel the complexity of disease biology and create medicines that were never before possible. The company has developed unique capabilities that link biology and chemistry with high dimensional -omic data from which we design medicines against the cellular signature of disease. The Cellarity platform allows us to uncover new biology in diseases even in the absence of known causal targets. The company has drug discovery programs underway in several disease areas, including metabolic disease, hematology, and immunology. Cellarity recently completed a Series C financing, and has raised a total of $274M from all funding rounds to date, with contributions from world-renowned investors alongside Flagship Pioneering who created the company. Cellarity’s goal is to grow into a fully integrated next generation Biotech company driving a new age in drug creation.
