Job Description:
- Develop quantitative analytical methods for drug products, APIs, and potential impurities using techniques such as HPLC-Mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), GC-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and other appropriate techniques.
- Develop qualitative analytical methods for the analysis of drug products, APIs, and potential impurities using techniques such as HPLC-MS, GC-MS, Fourier Transform IR (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and other appropriate techniques
- Characterize APIs, drug products, and potential impurities using analytical techniques such as FTIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Powder x-ray diffraction, BET Surface Area analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
- Perform quantitative and qualitative analysis of materials by mass spectrometry and other techniques as required.
- Author technical documents such as analytical methods and reports.
- Apply sound scientific principles to perform laboratory research.
Job Qualifications:
- A Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Chemistry or a related discipline and 4-7 years of experience. The preferred candidate will have a Bachelor’s degree and at least 7 years of experience, a Master’s degree and at least 4 years of experience, or a Ph.D. and 0-3 years of experience. The preferred candidate will also have experience with mass spectrometry, optical spectroscopy, or other analytical characterization techniques. Related experience and/or education may be considered.
- Must possess knowledge of modern analytical techniques and instrumentation employed in the characterization of pharmaceutical products, APIs, and related materials (e.g. HPLC, mass spectrometry, structural characterization techniques, spectroscopy, etc.). In addition, a general understanding of FDA’s current Good Manufacturing practices (cGMPs) is preferred.
- Must possess excellent communication (oral and written), analytical and organizational, skills. Working knowledge of common computer software packages as well as instrument-specific control and data acquisition software is preferable. Must be able to multi-task and drive multiple projects and assigned responsibilities.
- Proficiency in speaking, comprehending, reading and writing English are preferred.
