Senior Scientist

Proclinical is seeking a scientist to work effectively within a team of motivated and self-driven colleagues to provide a combination of materials characterisation and analytical chemistry methodologies in support of product investigations within the company's Global Supply Network.

Role Overview:

• The role will require a balance of knowledge between materials characterisation methods (ideally including microscopy, particle size analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, thermal methods and spectroscopy) and more traditional analytical methods (such as elemental analysis, chromatography and dissolution/disintegration).
• The successful candidate will be required to work in an innovative and autonomous manner to develop methods which are applicable for a range of pharmaceutical products (including raw materials, solid and liquid dosage forms and packaging components).
• In the role, you will act as a project lead to develop experimental plans and liaise directly with a wide customer base to ensure timely delivery of results which translate complex data sets into usable knowledge for the customer.
• Furthermore, tools will be employed to support product investigations in a pro-active manner to increase product understanding.
• Projects supported will range from in-depth evaluations of an active pharmaceutical (API) or other raw material, deconstruction of the important material attributes in solid or liquid dosage forms through to understanding and characterising defects in product packaging.
• The successful candidate will be the point of accountability in the team for the utilisation and implementation of appropriate analytical procedures.

Skills and Requirements:

• Experience in standard analytical procedures (such as volumetric manipulations and extractions) along with fundamental understanding and practical experience in the use of analytical instruments, such as ICP, HPLC, GC and dissolution testing.
• Require utilisation of a wide range of material characterisation techniques.
• Require collaboration with colleagues within the company's Global Supply organisations, plant and centre groups, to ensure material characterisation and analytical methodologies are appropriately employed during troubleshooting investigations.
