Postdoctoral Research Fellow, NMR Spectroscopy

** Job Description*
* Our company is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join Pharmaceutical Analysis & Digital Technologies (PADT) in Rahway, New Jersey. This is an exciting opportunity to develop next-generation NMR spectroscopy approaches for the structural characterization of biologics and other complex pharmaceutical molecules. The successful candidate will lead publication-oriented research that expands biomolecular NMR beyond conventional biophysical measurements toward detailed, atomistic interpretation of natural-abundance NMR spectra.

** Responsibilities:*
* + Plan and execute independent research in NMR spectroscopy applied to biologics.

+ Develop and optimize NMR experiments and spectral analysis strategies for complex biomolecules and pharmaceutical formulations.

+ Create automated workflows to detect and interpret distinctive chemical shifts, line widths, couplings, and other diagnostic spectral features.

+ Evaluate structure generation methods and chemical shift prediction approaches, including AI, machine learning, and physics-based models.

+ Integrate NMR data with molecular dynamics and iterative structural refinement to characterize biomolecular conformational ensembles.

+ Apply developed methods to therapeutic proteins, novel biologic modalities, peptides, adjuvants, and other pharmaceutically relevant systems.

+ Collaborate with teams in PADT, Large Molecule Analytical, Pharmaceutical Sciences & Device Development, and Protein Sciences and Biophysics.

+ Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals and present research at scientific meetings.

*
* Education:

*
* + Must currently hold a PhD  
** _OR_*
* + Receive a Ph.D. no later than spring 2027

+ Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline.

** Required

Experience and Skills:

*
* + Expertise in NMR spectroscopy and interpretation of multidimensional or complex NMR data.

+ Strong record of scientific achievement, including peer-reviewed publications or conference presentations.

+ Ability to design, execute, analyze, and communicate independent research in a collaborative environment.

** Preferred

Experience and Skills:

*
* + Experience in biomolecular NMR or structural biology.

+

Experience with Python, C/C++, Rust, or other scientific programming languages.

+ Knowledge of molecular modeling, machine learning, and generative AI.
