Job Description
For the Senior Scientist I position, we are seeking a highly motivated candidate who can conceive, implement and execute novel scientific research and development, independently develop, optimize new methods and techniques to generate reliable and reproducible data in a timely manner and demonstrate broad versatile technical expertise. They will support early phase development of New Chemical Entities (NCEs), particularly synthetic peptides, in both the preclinical- and clinical-development space and collaborate within the global Analytical R&D organization and with R&D cross-functional partners such as Pre-Clinical Safety (PCS), Process Chemistry, Process Engineering, Drug Product Development (DPD), Quality Assurance (QA), and CMC-Regulatory Affairs. Experience with peptide development is required and chromatographic analysis (such as HPLC or GC) and Mass Spectrometry is highly preferred.
Responsibilities
  • Responsible for efficiently leading and supporting new peptide product development, from an analytical perspective, while working with cross-functional areas to advance projects through the development pipeline.
  • Support new peptide product development with advanced analytics to drive the pipeline and impactful research initiatives.
  • Utilize understanding of a range of analytical techniques to conduct research and development studies related to synthetic-molecule drug substances, impurities, and impurity profiling.
  • Highly autonomous and productive in performing laboratory research and/or method development, requiring only minimal direction from or interaction with supervisor.
  • Initiate new areas of investigation that are scientifically meaningful, reliable, and can be incorporated directly into a research or development program.
  • Formulate conclusions and design follow-on experiments based on multidisciplinary data.
  • Process, interpret, and visualize data to facilitate project team decisions.
  • Routinely demonstrate scientific initiative and creativity in research or development activities and maintain a high level of productivity in the lab.
  • Responsible for method development, testing procedures, and implementation of analytical control strategies to help the advancement of drug discovery candidates.

  • Strong technical background in peptide development with excellent analytical problem-solving skills. Capable of independently developing and troubleshooting analytical methods.
  • Demonstrated experience with HPLC analysis and method development preferred along with expertise and fundamental understanding of spectroscopic techniques as they relate to peptide development and small molecules.
  • Comfortable discussing organic chemistry topics within analytical R&D and with partner functions. Hands-on experience with synthetic organic chemistry preferred.
  • Self-motivated, hard-working, detail-oriented individual able to work in a fast-paced team environment.
  • Experience in the use of computerized data handling systems.
  • High-quality written and oral communication skills and ability to interact effectively with interdisciplinary scientists and engineers.
  • Practical knowledge of organic structure, functional groups, chemistry, and modern spectroscopic techniques as applied to small-molecule analytical analysis.
  • Builds strong relationships with peers and cross functionally with partners outside of team to enable higher performance.
  • Learns fast, grasps the "essence" and can change course quickly where indicated.
  • Creates a learning environment, open to suggestions and experimentation for improvement.
  • Embraces the ideas of others, nurtures innovation and manages innovation to reality.
