- We strongly prefer an advanced scientific degree from a superior institution.
- We particularly seek candidates with a track record of performing work for innovative life science, biotech, and/or pharmaceutical corporations based in the United States.

- The successful candidate will support partners in multiple locations and must be comfortable working independently.
This is a unique opportunity to work with a firm having a strong commitment to respecting employee work-life balance.
