Want to help develop better drugs for mental illness?
Monument Therapeutics is seeking a highly motivated graduate to join our small, remote-first team. The role would suit an individual with a strong academic background in neuroscience, psychology or a related discipline who is looking for a broad and varied position within a small and innovative drug development company.
Working directly with the company founders, you will contribute to a wide range of scientific, operational and business activities.
As a key member of a small team, you will rapidly gain experience of many aspects of drug development and company development, and make a meaningful contribution across multiple areas of the business.
About Monument Therapeutics

About You
You are organised, proactive and comfortable working independently. You enjoy learning new skills, taking ownership of tasks and contributing wherever needed.
With a relevant scientific background, you are nonetheless keen to dig in and help solve operational challenges, improve processes and support company activities outside your immediate area of expertise.
We are looking for someone excited by our mission to improve the lives of people living with serious mental illness, and who has an interest in gaining broad experience across science, business operations and company growth.

What We Offer
This role provides a rare opportunity to gain practical experience across multiple areas of a small and fast-moving drug development company, including scientific research, drug development, intellectual property, quality systems, corporate communications and business operations.
