Scientist, Immunology Discovery-0657130612
Description
Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. is recruiting for a Scientist for their Immunology Discovery group, located in La Jolla, CA
Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. develops treatments that improve the health of people worldwide. Research and development areas encompass novel therapeutics for neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders, oncology, infectious disease, cardiovascular disorders, metabolic disorders, and immunologic and inflammatory disorders.
The Scientist, will be an innovative member of the Immunology Discovery - Exploratory Platforms research group based in La Jolla, CA. This individual’s primary responsibility will be to provide scientific leadership for discovery of novel pharmacological agents to prevent or intercept autoimmune diseases, by pursuing high risk/high reward projects focusing on the discovery of small molecules that modulate protein-protein interactions driving the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, and possibly psoriasis and IBD. The successful candidate will have a solid background in biochemistry, biophysics and structural biology including molecular modeling, with application to immunology. The Scientist’s responsibilities will also include origination and defense of ideas for new and on-going projects, the design and prosecution of experimental strategies, closely overseeing the generation, analysis and accurate recording of data, and presentation of findings to peer scientists. Direct experience with major cell surface and intracellular targets involved in the modulation of immune cell responses is a must, as well as conceptual and hands-on understanding of protein ligand-receptor interactions. Strong collaboration and communication skills and an ability to perform in the context of a multidisciplinary, geographically disperse team are required.
