Senior Associate Scientist - Integrated Process Analytics

We’re in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place.

To fully realize Pfizer’s purpose – Breakthroughs that change patients’ lives – we have established a clear set of expectations regarding “what” we need to achieve for patients and “how” we will go about achieving those goals.

Pfizer Research & Development serves as the beating heart of Pfizer's trailblazing product pipeline, the essence of our mission to bring life‑changing medicines to the world.

Pfizer offers competitive compensation and benefits programs designed to meet the diverse needs of our colleagues.

At Pfizer, our purpose is to deliver breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. As a Senior Associate Scientist, you will be at the forefront of this mission, working within our Research & Development division. Your role will be pivotal in translating advanced science and technologies into therapies and vaccines that matter most. By leveraging cutting‑edge design and process development capabilities, you will help accelerate the delivery of best‑in‑class medicines to patients globally, ultimately improving their lives.

As a Senior Associate Scientist, you will apply advanced spectroscopic techniques to support drug product development in laboratory and manufacturing settings.

This role requires strong collaboration with partner organizations, sound laboratory practices, and a clear understanding of safety requirements. The successful candidate will be eager to build expertise in optical spectroscopic measurement (Near Infrared, Mid Infrared, UV‑Vis, Raman spectroscopy) for the analysis of solids and liquids. Experience applying these techniques to drug product analysis, particularly within the pharmaceutical industry or another highly regulated environment, would be advantageous.

• Conduct laboratory studies to support analytical testing for pharmaceutical projects, with a focus on spectroscopic methodologies.
• Collaborate with colleagues and other subject‑matter experts to assess the most appropriate tools and approaches to support project activities, including use of computational predictive tools, modelling software and data visualization tools where appropriate.
• Document experimental results and collaborate with project team members for the presentation and critical review of data, prepare technical reports and evaluate new instrumentation or analytical techniques.
• Interact effectively with peers and leaders as part of a multidisciplinary team and thrive in a fast‑paced environment.
• Possess attention to detail, strong organizational skills, the ability to multitask, and effective interpersonal and communication skills.
• Demonstrate scientific curiosity and the ability to pick up new skills.

• Bachelor’s degree in chemistry with an emphasis on analytical chemistry or other relevant physical sciences, + 2‑5 years industry experience.
• Master’s Degree with 0‑3 years of experience with an emphasis on analytical chemistry or other relevant physical sciences.
• Effective communication skills.
• Ability to meet project milestones under general supervision, manage expectations for specific projects, ensure delivery of technology/transfer/submission‑ready technology, data and documents.
• Demonstrated oral and written communication skills, especially adherence to laboratory notebook practices.

• Prior knowledge/experience of using optical spectroscopic techniques (Raman, FTIR, NIR, UV‑Visible) and applying them in lab and/or manufacturing environments.
• Ability to use computational predictive tools, modelling software or data visualization tools.
• Experience in problem‑solving and instrument troubleshooting.
• Understanding or experience with quantitative spectroscopic method measurements and chemometrics.

• Do not anticipate more than 10% travel.
