About the role

Scorpion Therapeutics in Cambridge, MA is seeking an experienced neuroscientist to join our Discovery Psychiatry team. You will apply drug discovery principles across exploratory to late-stage programs and integrate in vitro and in vivo electrophysiological approaches to understand neural circuits. The role demands leadership in cross-functional teams, mentoring of junior scientists, and the ability to translate neurophysiology findings into developmental decisions for psychiatric indications.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
