We are looking for Drug Discovery Scientist candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.
What you'll do
- Build a research problem so realistic and well-constructed that the model has to genuinely reason to solve it — it can't pattern-match or look the answer up.
- Deliver three things per task: the prompt, the data room, and the grading document.
- Design the challenge — identify the hidden basin and the forcing chain that makes one conclusion inevitable.
- Build the world — assemble a data room from real, source-grounded data. Every decisive value traces to a real source.
- Write the grader — a grading document that scores a submitted memo on substance, not style or method.
- Run verification and calibration before submission.
- Own the rework if a reviewer requests changes.
- Be the final authority on every scientific and difficulty question in your task.
What you need
- Working expertise in mechanistic enzymology, structure-guided peptide or antibody design, fragment-based discovery, or structure-based medicinal chemistry
- Ability to pose a problem whose answer you can defend rigorously, but which a strong solver cannot shortcut.
- Comfortable judging reasoning quality, not just final answers.
