What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Scientist I, Frontiers Target Champion position at Novartis?
We are seeking a highly curious, hands-on scientist to help build the next generation of opportunities for Frontier Programs within the exploratory Disease Area (DAx) in Biomedical Research. In this lab-based individual contributor role, you will shape and advance emerging opportunities across new biology and indications, moving them from early hypotheses through project initiation. Success requires initiative, comfort with ambiguity, and sound judgment to generate and interpret decision-enabling data. This role has no direct people management responsibilities but will work closely with and provide scientific guidance to junior colleagues in a matrixed setting to advance project goals.
