About the Team

The Immunology and Cardiovascular Thematic Research Center (ICV TRC) at BMS is one of the fundamental Research units delivering therapeutics to patients. Our mission is to create transformative medicines of tomorrow based on the cutting-edge science of today. We leverage BMS's internal invention engine, which includes industry-leading expertise in small molecule chemistry, protein biotherapeutics, cell therapy, protein degradation, nucleic acids, and other therapeutic modalities.

The ICV TRC is a highly collaborative department, working across our locations with many colleagues throughout the Research and Development organization. The successful candidate will be an important leader of the Discovery Biology group, located in Lawrenceville, NJ, and Cambridge, MA.

About the Role

We seek a talented senior scientific leader to combine expert knowledge in immunology and cardiovascular disease and drug discovery to contribute to our departmental leadership, evolution, and portfolio. The candidate will help drive our early discovery portfolio of innovative internal programs and external strategic alliances that aim to combine cutting-edge drug discovery approaches with a growing understanding of mechanisms of immune reset, tissue repair, and cardio-specific delivery.

As part of the Discovery Biology Group within the ICV TRC, you will have the opportunity to develop strategies for discovery within the ICV TRC and across BMS expertise in high-throughput biology, chemistry, and computational sciences. You will also participate in the evaluation of external opportunities in the areas of immunology and cardiovascular biology and lead the development and management of external collaborations with projects ranging from early target discovery to IND submission.

This position offers an exciting opportunity to make a difference in the lives of patients and interact with the broader scientific community. You will be encouraged to publish your work and present at external meetings and conferences. The role requires interfacing with external groups, including CROs and both academic and industrial collaborators to deliver on a pipeline of new target molecules.
