More detail on this focus will be provided through the interview process.
Outline of Role:The Analytical Scientist role in Analytical Sciences/Quality Control Laboratories will be responsible for provision of analytical methods, data and information using advanced analytical mass spectrometry techniques in supporting individual site and network projects. This information may be structural or forensic in nature. It will involve analysis at ultra-trace levels. The development and validation of the methods and their associated lifecycle will be a key aspect of the role. The assets involved may be small molecules, peptides, therapeutic proteins, sRNAs, gene therapy and drug conjugates. These assets may be pipeline or commercial. The lifecycle management of existing technologies will be a further aspect of the role. Given the increasing need for more in-depth molecule information and the increasing complexity of assets, the identification of and implementation of new or improved technologies will be required. As all the information generated will be used to support manufacturing objectives, the active participation in cross functional teams will be required to understand manufacturing and regulatory requirements while also providing the analytical perspective to ensure overall success.
Key Responsibilities:Analytical Sciences Support:Support the introduction, validation and on-going technical agenda for pipeline and commercial assetsDevelop and validate robust scientifically advanced methods with the required performance attributes to satisfy stakeholder needsExecute testing protocols in accordance with local procedure and regulatory requirementsDevelop strong links with Global Regulatory Affairs and participate in the preparation and review of regulatory submissionsAs required provide training or mentorship to other QC or cross functional team membersAct as SME for mass spectrometry technologies and / or business systems within QC. This may include the identification, sourcing, installation, and qualification of new equipmentLeadership/ Site Management:Proactively support management decisions and strategyBe a role model for Analytical Sciences/Quality Control team members in terms of performance and behavioursInfluence the Business/ external partners on critical issues to meet end goals – understand the external context/environment to achieve these goalsAttend and contribute to relevant technical foraPre-Requisites:Candidates must be mobile to US based organizations after a defined qualification period at the recruiting site.Job specific pre-requisites:Deep technical expertise in separation sciences, spectroscopy, hyphenated mass spectrometry techniques (MS and MSn) and their application particularly in the field of proteomicsWith safety as the priority excellent laboratory techniquesProficiency in the use of multiple instrument platforms (Thermo, Agilent, Waters etc.) and associated software platforms (Chromeleon, Excalibur)Strong technical problem-solving ability both independently and as part of a teamMotivated to work independently to produce high quality work product in an efficient mannerHigh attention to detail in all aspects of the workEducational/Experience Requirements:Minimum PhD in SciencePreferred 3-5 years of recent bench experience in a laboratory environment, relating to mass spectrometryAdditional Skills/Preferences:Strong written and oral communication skillsAbility to work independently, self-sufficiently and pro-actively in the performance of work dutiesAbility to resolve conflict, and promote good decision making among team membersHigh learning agility and flexibility to achieve the required outcomesWorking knowledge in one or more of the following chemical, peptide or protein synthesisDevelopment and implementation of multi-attribute methods (PAT or offline)Imaginative approach to problem solving and solution discoveryKey Attributes:Business Knowledge: High performance in delivery of their work.
