Scientist, Medicinal Chemistry

Let’s build the future of medicine—together.

YOUR ROLE

As a Scientist, Medicinal Chemistry at Enveda, you will be at the bench turning ideas into molecules. You will design and run multi-step syntheses, characterize the compounds you make, and work hand in hand with our medicinal chemists to move our programmes forward. Reporting to a Senior Scientist or Principal Scientist, Chemistry, you will be part of a curious, collaborative team in our Hyderabad lab that is helping bring new medicines from nature to patients faster.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Independently design and execute multi-step organic syntheses, from route planning through isolation and purification.
• Characterize the compounds you make using NMR, LC-MS, HPLC and other analytical techniques, and keep data clean and traceable
• Work closely with our medicinal chemists and cross-functional teams, and bring creative ideas that add value to our research projects
• Apply medicinal chemistry principles to support SAR discussions and the design of new analogues
• Keep our electronic notebooks, internal databases and SOPs up to date, and help protect Enveda's intellectual property

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• PhD degree in Organic or Medicinal Chemistry, with 0-3 years of industry experience 
• Strong practical skills in synthetic organic chemistry techniques and a good knowledge of modern synthetic methods
• A safety-first mindset and the ability to stay productive and organised in a busy chemistry lab
• Clear oral and written communication, and a genuine team player who enjoys solving problems together
• Basic understanding of medicinal chemistry principles; experience with peptide synthesis is a plus
