Orano Med is a biotechnology company owned by Orano. Our ambition is to develop a new generation of targeted cancer therapies using the unique properties of lead-212, a rare alpha-emitting radioisotope with highly promising medical properties.

We are looking for a Peptide Chemistry Scientist who will report directly to the Peptide Chemistry R&D Director.

Responsabilities :

• Independently design and synthesize peptide molecules using state-of-the-art technologies.

   

• Analyze screening results and perform Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) and Structure-Property Relationship (SPR) analysis.

   

• Collaborate closely with Biology and Pharmacology teams to ensure timely preparation of compounds to support the screening cascade.

   

• Stay current with developments in the field of peptides chemistry and Targeted Radio-Therapies

   

• Present research findings and project updates to project teams.

   

• Ensure a high level of productivity in the laboratory setting.

   

• Provide effective supervision to lab associates, ensuring safe laboratory practices and offering guidance for their professional development.

Requirements :

• PhD in Organic Chemistry with a minimum of 3 years of postdoctoral or industrial experience working with peptides.

   

• Expertise in using parallel peptide synthesizers.

   

• Experience in designing peptides to modulate physicochemical and pharmacological properties.

   

• Strong knowledge of analytical techniques/instrumentation for peptide purification and characterization, such as Reverse Phase HPLC/UPLC, MALDI-TOF and Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).

   

• Strong laboratory presence with experience mentoring scientists.

   

• Experience working on targeted cancer therapy modalities is a plus.

   

• Solid written and oral communication skills, along with enthusiasm, integrity, self-motivation, strong interpersonal skills, and attention to detail.
