Research Scientist/Sr Research Scientist - Small Molecule

Shift: Full-Time;
Monday - Friday; 8am-5pm EST

Discover Impactful Work:

As a Research Scientist or Sr Research Scientist, you will oversee complex analytical development and/or specialty technologies projects to create new analytical methods, enhance existing methods, and transfer client-provided methods using multiple instrumentation techniques (HPLC, GC, UPLC, ICP-MS, LC/MS, GC/MS etc.) and multiple detection techniques (UV, FL, CAD, ELSD, IC etc.). Provide technical and regulatory consulting to internal groups and clients about their programs.

Provide technical guidance and mentorship to senior staff members in performing laboratory activities. Routinely act as the technical project leader for multiple projects, interacts with clients to provide technical project updates, reviews and evaluates data, writes reports and protocols.

What You'll Do:

* Small Molecule background a MUST HAVE

* Independently plans the best scientific approach to develop analytical methods

* and/or other specialty technologies studies that meet client requirements.

Acts as on-site Subject Matter Expert (SME) for instrumentation / technique /

technology.

* Evaluates available technical options to obtain desired quality of analytical

results, economics, ease of introduction into a production environment, and

robustness in analytical applications.

* Demonstrates viability of in-house developed methods and methods transferred

from clients by designing appropriate validation experiments or other appropriate

aspects of specialty methodology or technology.

* Ability to lead client discussions regarding project definitions, technical

information exchanges and discussions of project status. Provides

recommendations to clients on technical and regulatory issues.

* Reviews protocols, project status reports, final study reports and other project related technical documents.
