Description

About Sanofi We’re an R&D-driven, AI-powered biopharma company committed to improving people’s lives and delivering compelling growth. Our deep understanding of the immune system – and innovative pipeline – enables us to invent medicines and vaccines that treat and protect millions of people around the world. Together, we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. About the Job Join the engine of Sanofi’s mission — where deep immunoscience meets bold, AI-powered research. In R&D, you’ll drive breakthroughs that could turn the impossible into possible for millions. Main Responsibilities: The Scientific Fellow, AI-Enabled CMC, is a senior individual contributor and scientific thought leader at the intersection of AI, computational science, and Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls. This role will shape scientific strategy, evaluate internal and external capabilities, and apply deep scientific judgement to advance CMC across development, scale-up, tech transfer, and Manufacturing Sciences. The individual will provide expert leadership on how advanced digital, computational, and AI approaches can accelerate CMC development, improve process understanding and control, strengthen robustness and decision-making, and increase probability of success across the product lifecycle. Working across research programs and R&D-wide initiatives, this person will advise senior leaders and corporate management on emerging scientific and technological advances, strategic opportunities, and differentiated approaches in AI-enabled CMC spanning both small and large molecule modalities where relevant. A core expectation of the role is to help define scientific strategies and practical tactics that support company ambitions in AI-enabled CMC. This includes assessing emerging methods, platforms, partnerships, and external innovations for scientific quality, strategic relevance, and potential impact across areas such as process development, formulation, analytical sciences, process modeling, scale-up, tech transfer, manufacturing process monitoring, process robustness, and data-driven process optimization. The Scientific Fellow will be expected to work at the interface of R&D CMC teams and partner closely with scale-up, tech transfer, and Manufacturing Sciences organizations to help identify opportunities where advanced analytics, modeling, automation, and AI can improve speed, reliability, and knowledge transfer across development and manufacturing. This role requires a recognized leader with strong external visibility and influence. The Scientific Fellow must establish and maintain a national and international reputation as a thought leader through high-impact publications, patents, productive scientific collaborations, invited speaking engagements, conference participation, and other visible contributions to the scientific community. They must be recognized externally as an expert in the field and bring strong connections to leading academic, biotech, technology, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing-focused groups working at the forefront of AI, process science, digital CMC, and advanced computational methods. The successful candidate will have a proven record of envisioning and delivering innovative scientific or technological solutions with a high degree of creativity, and of meaningfully influencing the direction and productivity of their field within R&D. They must be capable of operating as a highly independent senior scientific leader without direct line management responsibility, while exerting broad influence across a matrixed organization. About You Qualifications: Ph.D. in chemical engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, biochemistry, bioengineering, computational science, data science, machine learning, or a related scientific discipline, with a minimum of 7 years of experience in academia, biotech, technology, pharma, or a manufacturing-focused environment. Candidates must have a strong track record in AI, computational tools, and CMC-related scientific innovation, along with demonstrated success advising senior leaders, evaluating emerging scientific capabilities, and translating technical advances into strategic R&D and manufacturing impact. Why Choose Us? Bring the miracles of science to life alongside a supportive, future-focused team.
