director of scientific research

Merck

<div>Job Description
Discovery Pharmaceutical Sciences (DPS) enables drug discovery and drug product development through application of pharmaceutical science and drug delivery research from target identification through clinical candidate selection for both small molecules, peptides, biologics and vaccines. DPS influences molecular design of these clinical candidates through physicochemical property profiling and then applying insights to better understand, and resolve, drug product developability risks. We further utilize our expertise to identify and develop solid state phases, develop and study prototype formulations intended for clinical use, and deliver robust GLP formulations. In aggregate, our team enables the transition of optimal molecules from discovery to clinical formulation development with formulation strategies in place.
The Director is responsible for leading a team in West Point, PA to enable the R&amp;D goals of the organization. Goals include a) compound profiling, b) early formulation screening for stability and performance as well as c) development of prototype and concept formulations/drug delivery which would benefit the molecule given its therapeutic area. Research areas include solubilization, targeted delivery, permeation enhancer application, long acting parenteral, and modification of drug release. In order to profile these compounds and their delivery routes the team must develop physical and chemical methods (XRD, TGA, DSC, DVS, HPLC, HP-SEC, DLS, Microscopy, etc.). The successful candidate will have a strong track record of solving deep technical challenges. The role includes assessment of both small, peptide and protein-based modalities as the pipeline demands. 
The Director reports to the Executive Director of Discovery Pharmaceutical Sciences and will lead staff who work within multidisciplinary drug discovery and development teams.
