Technical Associate Scientist / Scientist I

Position Description and Responsibilities:

U.S. Pharmaceutical Technical Development (PTDU) develops and supports manufacturing processes, formulations, delivery devices, analytical methods, and packaging solutions to meet the end-to-end (discovery to commercialization) development needs of clients protein pharmaceutical pipeline. Through innovation, efficiency, and collaboration we enable the delivery of novel medicines that meet the critical needs of patients.

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join the department of Protein Analytical Chemistry (PAC) (within PTDU) as a Technical Development Associate Scientist / Scientist I. A successful candidate will be expected to work hands-on in the laboratory to generate analytical data in support of the pipeline projects. This will include analytical characterization and testing as well as development and execution of analytical methods. The candidate may also collaborate with cross functional colleagues and contribute to manufacturing process development and clinical trial and commercialization-enabling regulatory filings (e.g. BLAs and INDs). This candidate is expected to be a good lab citizen, following all environmental health and safety guidelines and maintaining lab space and instruments in good working order. The individual will maintain excellent documentation of all work, including electronic laboratory notebooks, and will author technical reports. Additionally, the individual may present experimental results to technical development teams, the PAC department, and other stakeholders on a regular basis. Candidates applying should be passionate about science, exceptionally productive, data-driven and should enjoy the challenges associated with complex problem-solving. Candidates must be highly self-motivated and willing to work independently or as a part of multi-disciplinary teams to ensure the delivery of clients protein pharmaceutical pipeline.

Requirements:

• A BS or MS in biological or chemical sciences, or related disciplines with 1 - 4 years of relevant experience in analytical development of biologics
