What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Scientist, Translational Immunology position at Vividion Therapeutics, Inc.?
Description
Company Overview:
Vividion is a next generation biotechnology company based in San Diego that is leveraging its proprietary chemical proteomics platform to conduct proteome-wide footprinting of drug-protein interactions with unprecedented breadth and precision. Our technology allows us to screen, identify and optimize novel drugs that selectively bind virtually any protein, including proteins previously considered “undruggable”. Our pipeline and emerging programs reflect a matured and productive platform capable of delivering first in class drugs utilizing novel mechanisms of action (allosteric inhibitors, protein-protein interaction inhibitors, functional activators, degraders etc.) against undruggable targets in the oncology and immunology space.
We prize scientific excellence, creativity, team players and we are committed to continued innovation. We have worked hard to create a collaborative and dynamic work culture where your ideas and discoveries are valued and will have an impact. We are growing and there are opportunities for mentorship and career progression.
Vividion has been recognized as a Top Workplace by The San Diego Union-Tribune in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Job Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated, experienced translational scientist to join our Immunology team to support the expanding portfolio of small molecules targeting autoimmune diseases. The Senior Scientist will report to the Director, Translational Immunology and will be responsible for exploratory translational work to support indication selection and biomarker strategy for programs at the pre-IND stage. The individual will establish biomarker assays, execute mechanism of action studies, and work closely with the discovery research team to propose a translational strategy for the programs. The ideal candidate will have a broad scientific background with demonstrated experience in exploratory translational research to support immunology and autoimmune disease programs.
Requirements
Essential Duties and responsibilities:
The annual base salary for this position ranges from $140,000 to $155,000 depending on relevant skills, experience, and education. In addition, this position is eligible for target bonus, long-term-incentives, 401k retirement savings plan with company match, and a comprehensive benefits package which includes medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.
