    Default job background
    Description

    Cytokinetics is a late-stage, specialty cardiovascular biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing first-in-class muscle activators and next-in-class muscle inhibitors as potential treatments for debilitating diseases in which cardiac muscle performance is compromised. As a leader in muscle biology and the mechanics of muscle performance, the company is developing small molecule drug candidates specifically engineered to impact myocardial muscle function and contractility.

    We are seeking a highly motivated Junior Research Associate with a focus on Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) to join our team. The ideal candidate will contribute to our efforts in screening, plasma protein binding, and microsomal assays. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work in a collaborative and fast-paced environment, supporting the development of cutting-edge therapies for cardiovascular and skeletal muscle disorders.

    Responsibilities:

    • Plasma Protein Binding Studies: Conduct experiments to determine the binding affinity of
      compounds to plasma proteins using Sciex LC/MS-MS
    • Microsomal Assays: Perform microsomal stability studies to assess the metabolic stability and
      run the assay using the Sciex LC/MS-MS
    • Perform bioanalytical analysis of small molecules in plasma and the tissue
      using the Sciex LC/MS-MS.
    • Data Analysis and Interpretation: Analyze experimental data using appropriate software and
      statistical methods and provide clear and concise summaries of findings to support decision-
      making.
    • Documentation and Reporting: Maintain detailed records of experimental procedures, results,
      and observations in laboratory notebooks and electronic databases. Prepare technical reports
      and presentations for internal meetings and regulatory submissions.
    • Collaboration: Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including medicinal
      chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology, to support drug discovery and development projects.
    • Lab Maintenance: Ensure proper maintenance and organization of laboratory equipment,
      reagents, and supplies. Adhere to safety protocols and maintain a clean and safe working
      environment.
    Qualifications:
    • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related
      field.
    • Hands-on experience with DMPK assays, including screening, plasma protein binding, and
      microsomal assays are preferred but not required.
    • Proven analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to critically evaluate and interpret
      experimental data.
    Actual salary at the time of hire may vary and may be above or below the range based on various factors, including, but not limited to, the candidate's relevant qualifications, skills, and experience, as well as the service line and location where this position may be filled.
