About the Role

The Company is seeking a Board Member for its Foundation, which is dedicated to advancing the legacy of its founder, a renowned scientist and philanthropist. The successful candidate will provide strategic leadership and guidance for the Foundation's activities and grant programs, with a focus on supporting high-risk, interdisciplinary research in the fields of chemistry and life sciences.
