- Ability to work independently and take initiative to drive the project forward.
**Valued qualities**
- Highly motivated, ambitious and enthusiastic.
- Expertise in physical organic chemistry.
- Ability to contribute to broader management and administrative processes.
- Strong journal publication record.
- Attendance and presentations at international conferences.
- Experience in the pharmaceutical industry through internships or other avenues.
