Synthetic Organic Chemist Job at Quadratic 3D, Inc., Boston, MA

  • Quadratic 3D, Inc.
  • Boston, MA

Job Description

We are seeking a passionate PhD-level synthetic chemist to drive the discovery of small molecules for next-generation 3D printing resins . This position involves rapid exploration of chemical space through organic synthesis to develop photochemical and photophysical structure-property relationships. This role will be particularly appealing to chemists with a passion for both synthetic and physical organic chemistry. Our process uses a small amount of each lead candidate, so synthetic creativity is not limited by the scalability concerns that usually narrow the available chemical space in materials applications. Responsibilities Design, execute, and troubleshoot small molecule synthetic routes, with a focus on divergent or modular approaches to rapidly generate lead candidates. Characterize lead candidates via UPLC, NMR, UV/Vis and IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Contribute to the development of high-throughput analytical capabilities, small molecule databases, and virtual libraries. Work with cross-functional teammates to explore photochemical and photophysical structure–property relationships that drive 3D printing performance. Maintain excellent electronic lab notebook documentation. Minimum Qualifications PhD in Organic Chemistry or BS in Chemistry and 5+ years of experience in a small molecule discovery role. Strong expertise in both synthetic and physical organic chemistry, demonstrated through publications and other activities. Significant experience designing and executing multi-step synthetic routes. Extensive experience with modern computing and data analysis tools relevant to synthetic chemistry. Excellent communication, organizational, and time management skills. Demonstrated ability to independently drive an idea from conception to project completion. Evidence of strong collaboration and teamwork talents/skills. Strong publication record, both as lead author and as contributor to other projects . Preferred Qualifications Expertise in photochemistry and/or radical chemistry. Significant experience with synthesis of heterocyclic and/or extended aromatic systems, especially those relevant to organic (opto)electronics. Experience with cheminformatics and/or computational chemistry tools (e.g. DFT) relevant to the production of structure-property relationships. We offer competitive compensation packages in our VC-backed startup. Benefits include a full suite of offerings covering medical, dental, vision and 401k plan. Beautiful setting looking out over a river and seaport; outdoor seating and picnic areas. Highly collaborative work environment. Additional Information Travel: Occasional travel may be required from time to time We value diversity in our company and are an Equal Opportunity Employer. #J-18808-Ljbffr
