  • Experience interpreting IC50, Ki, and Kd data.
  • Currently active in a bench-based research, scientist, or associate scientist role.
  • Working knowledge of UniProt or related workflows such as SAR, HTS, target validation, biochemical profiling, or IND-enabling studies.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with ChEMBL, BindingDB, or PubChem.
