  • Responsible for developing, implementing and interpreting LC-MS based analytical methods (ESI/APCI MS, MS/MS and GC/MS) to solve complex analytical problems that advance the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
  • Performs qualitative and quantitative GC-MS, LC-MS, and “wet” chemistry (isolation, extraction and derivatization).
  • Explores innovative analytical technologies and emerging platforms to meet the needs of an evolving portfolio that may include novel molecular modalities and new therapeutic areas.
  • Develops, tests and writes analytical methods and operating procedures based upon project requirements related to the characterization of molecules by LC/MS and GC/MS techniques .
  • Supports work from cross-functional and international project teams and effectively manages the prioritization to meet multiple project goals and timelines.
  • Conducts regular performance and preventive maintenance of laboratory instruments / equipment and performs troubleshooting of analytical test methods and laboratory instrumentation.
  • Has the ability to detail experimental set-up, results and findings in an electronic notebook, perform expert analysis and interpretation of data and prepare well-written scientific reports.

  • Must be 18 years of age or older

Desired Experience Skills and Abilities:

  • Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, or equivalent with strong background in mass spectrometry.
  • Hands-on experience in the application of mass spectrometry and chromatographic techniques (LC/MS, GC/MS) for the analysis of APIs, degradants, impurities, metabolites, natural products, biopolymers etc.
  • Strong background in theoretical and experimental organic chemistry to propose the origin of unknown components.
  • Proven track record of successfully developing and applying LC-MS or LC-MS/MS methods to solve complex structural problems.
  • Experience with mass spectrometry data collection and interpretation of oligonucleotides is highly desired.
  • Hands on experience with MALDI (metabolites, peptides, proteins) or MALDI Imagining is a plus.
  • Strong problem-solving ability in experimental design, execution, data interpretation and troubleshooting with limited supervision.
  • Evidence of a scientific record through publications and presentations at professional conferences.
  • Ability to work independently in a dynamic international team environment with cross-functional interactions.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills and strong interpersonal skills.
