Job Posting: Incyte-Medicinal Chemistry

Incyte is searching for talented Ph.D. chemists seeking a career in medicinal chemistry.    Candidates with strong synthetic and mechanistic experience gained from research in total synthesis, diversity-oriented synthesis, chemical biology or synthetic methodology are highly desired.  Our team of ~40 medicinal chemists is highly experienced with the majority having over 15 years in the pharmaceutical industry.  The successful candidate will be engaged in the design and synthesis of novel small molecule inhibitors directed toward oncology targets at Incyte.

The FDA approval and successful launch of our first internally invented and developed small molecule Janus Kinase inhibitor, Jakafi®, in 2011 has been transformative to our company.  In just the past three years, Incyte has evolved from a small biotechnology company to a mid-stage biopharmaceutical company with over 550 employees in R&D, sales and marketing.  Our pipeline is robust with seven unique new chemical entities that are being studied in over 70 human clinical trials.  2014 has been a particularly exciting year for us with the sNDA filing of Jakafi for Polycythemia Vera (PV) and early proof of concept of our first-in-class small molecule IDO inhibitor INCB24360 as a novel immunotherapy treatment for melanoma.  In addition, we are eager to move into our beautiful new research building here in Wilmington, DE this fall.   

Please have students who are interested in a career in drug discovery within our growing and dynamic biopharmaceutical company send their CVs and research summaries to me at aguntz@incyte.com

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
