About this role

Scientist I/II, Organic Chemistry Cambridge, MA USA Your Impact at LILA The Scientist I/II, Organic Chemistry will develop, execute, and optimize modern chemical transformations that support Discovery Chemistry efforts across Lila's platform, with a focus on the rapid synthesis of small molecules and structurally diverse chemical matter. This role is intended for an experimental organic chemist who combines strong foundations in synthetic chemistry with hands-on experience in high-throughput experimentation (HTE), reaction workup, and analytical characterization . Working closely with Discovery Chemistry, analytical chemistry, automation, screening, and AI/computational teams, this scientist will help build and apply efficient chemistry workflows that accelerate molecular design-make-test-analyze cycles. The Scientist II will contribute to reaction development, analog generation, and route execution using modern organic chemistry approaches that are compatible with scalable, data-rich, and increasingly automated discovery environments. This role is ideal for a chemist excited by solving synthetic problems at the interface of reaction innovation, high-throughput experimentation, process efficiency, and analytical insight , and who is motivated to help shape next-generation discovery workflows beyond traditional bench chemistry. What You'll Be Building - Design, execute, and optimize chemical transformations relevant to Discovery Chemistry programs, with emphasis on the rapid synthesis of small molecules and analog series. - Apply modern synthetic organic chemistry to enable efficient exploration of structurally diverse and medicinally relevant chemical space. - Plan and perform multi-step synthesis, reaction optimization, workup, purification, and compound characterization in support of molecular discovery campaigns. - Design and execute HTE workflows for reaction screening, condition optimization, reagent evaluation,
