Job Title

Research Officer (Medicinal Chemist)

Job Description

We have 2 exciting Research Officer (Medicinal Chemist) opportunities available to join the Technological Sciences Division at Australia’s pre-eminent biomedical research institute.

About the program

The Bridging Barriers in Brain Cancer (B3C) program aims to transform the lives of people affected by brain cancer by developing pioneering new medicines capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier.

Led by WEHI, B3C is establishing a platform-enabled drug discovery and development pipeline, focused on targeted drug conjugates designed to deliver potent anti-cancer therapies into the brain.

B3C brings together a highly multidisciplinary team across partner organisations, the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Monash University, the Royal Melbourne Hospital, The University of Queensland and the University of Technology Sydney, with the long-term ambition of transitioning B3C into a successful biotech spinout.

B3C represents a unique opportunity to build a purpose-driven, translational drug development centre from the ground up, integrating discovery science, preclinical development, translational strategy and commercial readiness.

This laboratory-based role involves close collaboration with the Chemistry Lead to design, synthesise, and characterise novel payload-linker platforms for the development of innovative bioconjugates. Embedded within a commercially focused program, the role offers the opportunity to contribute to translational research with real-world impact.

Ability to understand relevant biological assays and analyse data to guide project directions

Desirable

Experience working in commercial academic projects, biotech, pharma or start-up environments.
Experience in novel linker designs and conjugation strategies is highly regarded.
Familiarity with regulatory or compliance considerations in research or healthcare settings.
