When you join BMS, you are joining a diverse, high-achieving team united by a common mission. BMS encompasses a broad range of disciplines to enable a robust pipeline of drug candidates aimed at serious diseases. Chemistry is a core capability in Small Molecule & Drug Discovery with innovative scientists working in medicinal chemistry, radiochemistry, analytical chemistry, and large-scale synthesis. Within SMDD our Lead Discovery and Optimization (LDO) team is responsible for high throughput screening, compound storage and distribution, primary assays to support discovery programs, and compound profiling to explore drug liabilities in vitro. LDO scientists discover and adopt cutting edge assay technologies that utilize state-of-the-art automation to drive speed and efficiency. Our Molecular Structure and Design team embraces novel approaches to computer-aided drug design, machine learning, and structural biology. The integration of these disciplines provides a seamless and highly interactive environment for discovery scientists to learn, develop, and innovate. Working in partnership with our disease area experts in the Thematic Research Centers provides an exciting pathway to discover and deliver medicines to patients in need. Leads Discovery and Optimization (LDO) is a diverse group of scientists and engineers providing critical lead discovery, lead evaluation, and lead profiling data to improve the understanding and increase the speed of discovery of new therapeutics. The Protein Science team in LDO plays a key role in enabling small molecule drug discovery by designing, expressing, purifying, and characterizing recombinant protein reagents that are utilized in high-throughput screens, SAR-driving and mechanistic enzyme assays, biophysical ligand-binding assays, and structural biology. We are seeking a Senior Scientist who will help expand our impact on the structural biology portfolio. The ideal candidate will contribute to our entire structural biology pipeline from protein design to purification and characterization. This is a laboratory-based position. Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with research program leaders in Biology, Chemistry, and colleagues in Protein Science and Structural Biology to formulate strategies for design, expression, and purification of membrane proteins to enable structure determination by cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography.
  • Express recombinant membrane proteins and complexes using eukaryotic hosts
  • Extract and purify functional membrane proteins and complexes
  • Use analytical techniques to inform and drive construct design, protein expression, and protein purification efforts towards homogeneous membrane proteins and protein complexes suitable for structure determination by cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography.
