RESEARCH INVESTIGATOR - DISCOVERY BIOLOGY Location: NYC Black Diamond Therapeutics

is a next-wave cancer precision medicine company. Black Diamond pioneered the development of selective medicines for patients with genetically defined cancers driven by oncogenes activated by allosteric mutations. Using its mutation, allostery and pharmacology (MAP) computational and discovery platform, Black Diamond is uncovering new ways to functionally assess the mutational landscape of individual oncogenes - to discover and validate new targets and develop novel approaches to creating highly selective therapeutics. Black Diamond has an immediate need for a Research Investigator - Discovery Biology. Reporting to the Director of Discovery Biology, the incumbent will drive drug discovery projects through close collaboration with others to reshape and extend the pipeline of precision oncology medicines.

Key Duties & Responsibilities:

• Lead a biology drug discovery team to validate novel allosteric oncogenes and execute biology screens to effectively drug allosteric oncogene targets
• Participate in a multi-disciplinary team of biologists and chemists to progress programs.
• Staying abreast of the latest scientific and competitive developments and applying knowledge to project strategy.
• Prepare and present hypotheses, on-going progress reports, technical reports and future planning (including contributing to budgets and business plans)
• Contribute to building a culture that embraces scientific excellence and integrity with a sense of urgency and collaboration with key stakeholders.

Our Vision
Precision Cancer Medicines for Every Genetically-Defined Patient    
 
Company Overview
Black Diamond Therapeutics: A Next-Wave Cancer Precision Medicine Company
 
Black Diamond Therapeutics has pioneered the development of selective medicines for patients with genetically-defined cancers driven by oncogenes activated by allosteric mutations.
 
The cornerstone of our approach derives from evolving trends in cancer clinical medicine. Genome-wide information – now routinely obtained from DNA testing of cancer patients – identifies clusters of uncharacterized genomic alterations. Today, new baskets of un-drugged oncogenic targets exist, leading to the identification of additional cancer patients in need of novel therapies.
 
Using our MAP platform, Black Diamond Therapeutics is pioneering new ways to functionally assess the mutational landscape of individual oncogenes – to discover and validate new targets, and to develop novel approaches to creating highly selective therapeutics.
