Description

Company Overview: 

Vividion is a next generation biotechnology company based in San Diego that is leveraging its proprietary chemical proteomics platform to conduct proteome-wide footprinting of drug-protein interactions with unprecedented breadth and precision. Our technology allows us to screen, identify and optimize novel drugs that selectively bind virtually any protein, including proteins previously considered “undruggable”. Our pipeline and emerging programs reflect a matured and productive platform capable of delivering first in class drugs utilizing novel mechanisms of action (allosteric inhibitors, protein-protein interaction inhibitors, functional activators, degraders etc.) against undruggable targets in the oncology and immunology space.

We are uniquely structured with opportunities for all scientists to contribute to both established programs as well as ongoing early target selection, screens and validation. We prize scientific excellence, creativity, team players and we are committed to continued innovation. We have worked hard to create a collaborative and dynamic work culture where your ideas and discoveries are valued and will have an impact. We are growing and there are opportunities for mentorship and career progression.

Vividion was ranked #2 mid-size company on The San Diego Union-Tribune's 2022 and 2023 Top Workplaces list.

Job Summary: 

The successful candidate will have hands-on experience with different proteomics sample preparation techniques (i.e. chemical biology, AP-MS, PTM enrichment) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, including method development and instrument maintenance. This position will help discover novel small-molecule ligands of protein targets through the execution of screens using our novel mass spectrometry-based proteomics platforms. This position will also support programs as the proteomics point-person as they progress from enablement to clinical implementation and work on new development projects to increase the platform group capabilities and throughput.
