Job Description

For the Principal Research Scientist I position, we are seeking a highly motivated, experienced analytical scientist and leader to lead a team of analytical scientists supporting the development of New Chemical Entities (NCEs) drug substance and drug product from pre-clinical through Phase III under GLP and GMP guidelines. The role also includes characterization of Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) molecule in support of GLP Pre-Clinical Safety studies. The candidate should have extensive expertise in applying Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulatory guidelines within a R&D environment with a fit for purpose mind set. The candidate will need expertise in the areas of analytical method development, characterization, validation, release, and stability testing. The candidate will ensure the maintenance of a GLP complaint analytical operation.

He/she will lead a team who primarily perform GLP Test Item characterization, cGMP release and stability testing, and interfacing across the NCE project team and fulfill responsibilities of a GLP Principal Investigator. He/she must be able to mentor and develop scientists across a range of different experience levels and must foster productive collaborations within the global Analytical R&D organization and with R&D cross-functional partners such as Pre-Clinical Safety (PCS), Process R&D (PRD), Formulation Sciences (Pharmaceutics), and Quality Assurance (QA). Perform.

Responsibilities

  • Mentor and coach, a team of analytical scientists on the development of appropriate analytical strategies for GLP characterization involving Drug Substance and Drug Product.
  • Review and edit key regulatory documents, technical reports, and analytical method packages to drive high quality regulatory submissions and source reports and ensure fit-for-purpose knowledge management. 
  • Apply analytical separation and detection modes for complex impurity profiling of pharmaceutical products to further the understanding of emerging cGMP manufacturing processes.
  • Responsible for leading the analytical aspects of a project while working with other functional areas to advance projects through the development pipeline.
  • Utilize understanding of a range of analytical techniques to conduct research and development studies related to small-molecule drug products, active pharmaceutical ingredients, intermediates, starting materials, impurities and impurity profiling.
  • Support new product development with advanced methods development and validations, technical transfer packages, and generation of technical data in support regulatory requirements.
  • Highly autonomous and productive in performing laboratory research or method development, requiring only minimal direction from or interaction with supervisor.
  • Formulate conclusions and design follow-on experiments based on multidisciplinary data.
  • May initiate new areas of investigation that are scientifically meaningful, reliable, and can be incorporated directly into a research or development program.
  • Process, interpret, and visualize data to facilitate project team decisions.
  • Communicate and collaborate with cross-functional groups and departments.
