FYI. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Timothy A Grese <grese_timothy_a@lilly.com> Date: Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 7:19 AM Subject: An exciting opportunity for highly talented graduate students and post-docs in your research group To: "bshoichet@gmail.com" <bshoichet@gmail.com> Dear Professor Shoichet, Greetings! I am writing to inform you about an exciting opportunity for highly talented graduate students and post-docs in your research group. You may be aware that Eli Lilly is expanding its research presence on the West Coast at the San Diego Biotechnology facility. As part of this expansion, we are establishing a Medicinal and Synthetic Chemistry group there. We are looking for select individuals to join this group and participate in our mission to provide innovative health care solutions to patients. We are reaching out to select chemistry faculty to help us identify exceptional candidates that meet this need. In addition to classical synthetic and medicinal chemistry approaches, our expanded research center in San Diego will (i) emphasize the application of automation to chemical design, synthesis and testing; (ii) take advantage of the proximity to our world-class structural biology capabilities; (iii) work at the interface of small and large molecule approaches; and (iv) explore unique and innovative methods to collaborate with West Coast research institutions. A job description for the position is included with this letter. We are currently targeting Ph.D. and Post-Doctoral students that will be ready to begin their independent career in 2018. As this is a new research group and the facilities are still being completed, some existing Lilly chemistry leadership and scientists that will work within this group have not yet relocated to San Diego. To facilitate the interview process and ensure that the right individuals are available to meet with candidates, we plan to conduct on-site interviews during a 1-2 week period in June/July of 2017. Therefore we are requesting your assistance to help identify qualified and interested candidates in advance of the normal 2017 recruiting season. Kevin Oberg and Jacqueline Wurst will be accepting CV’s and research summaries until April 17 at the email addresses below. Kevin Oberg, PhD koberg@lilly.com Jacqueline Wurst, PhD jwurst@lilly.com Where there are sufficient numbers of candidates at a single university or institution, we would like to conduct on-campus interviews in April/May. Alternatively, discussions with potential candidates can be done over the phone before any invitations are made to visit the Lilly San Diego site for in-person interviews. Thank you for your assistance in helping us to identify talented candidates for this exciting opportunity. If you have any questions regarding our new research group or the recruiting process, please feel free to contact me. _____________________________________________________________ *Timothy A.
