Scientist, Research Scientist, Pharmaceutical Science​/ Research

The Scientist1 designs and executes experiments, analyzes data, and contributes to the development and optimization of pharmaceutical formulations and processes.

• Plan and perform experiments to develop drug formulations, processing methods, and analytical assays.
• Generate and interpret data; adjust experimental plans based on findings and scientific rationale.
• Contribute to scale-up and technology transfer activities by supporting engineering studies and data analysis.
• Write technical documents such as protocols, study reports, and CMC sections for regulatory submissions.
• Ensure proper calibration and maintenance of laboratory equipment and instruments.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including analytical, manufacturing, and quality to advance projects.
• Present results at project meetings and provide scientific input to guide project direction.
• Ensure adherence to GLP/GMP and safety requirements in all experimental activities.
• Draft Master Batch Records and development methods.
• Interface with clients prior to and during development batches.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Competence in pharmaceutical sciences, including formulation development and analytical methods, with emphasis on solid oral dosage forms containing small molecule drugs.
• Ability to design experiments, execute the preparation of prototypes, and apply statistical tools for data analysis and interpretation, including evaluation of dissolution, disintegration, hardness, friability, and related performance metrics.
• Familiarity with formulation principles and process development specific to solid oral dosage manufacturing (e.g., blending, granulation, compression, encapsulation, coating).
• Understanding of material science attributes—such as particle size, morphology, hygroscopicity, and polymorphism—and their impact on solid oral dosage form quality and performance.
• Proficient in technical writing and documentation for scientific and regulatory purposes, including protocols, reports, and development summaries.
• Knowledge of regulatory guidelines for early-phase development and CMC documentation, particularly as they relate to solid oral dosage forms.

• Analytical thinker who works independently and collaboratively as part of a team.
• Communicates scientific information clearly to colleagues and stakeholders.
• Adaptable and responsive to project changes and evolving priorities.
• Demonstrates initiative and curiosity in exploring new ideas and approaches.
• Manages multiple tasks and meets project deadlines effectively.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, or related field.
• 2–5 years of experience in pharmaceutical research or development.
• Experience in formulation and process development is advantageous.
