For the Senior Scientist I/II position, we are seeking a highly motivated candidate who can conceive, implement and execute novel scientific research and development, independently develop, optimize new methods and techniques to generate reliable and reproducible data in a timely manner and demonstrate broad versatile technical expertise. They will support early phase development of New Synthetic Molecules particularly newly emerging modalities such as peptides, siRNA, conjugatable payloads for antibody-drug conjugates, and small molecules, in both the preclinical- and clinical-development space and collaborate within the global Analytical R&D organization and with R&D cross-functional partners such as Pre-Clinical Safety (PCS), Process Chemistry, Process Engineering, Drug Product Development (DPD), Quality Assurance (QA), and CMC-Regulatory Affairs.

This position will focus primarily on transitioning NCEs from Discovery into Development Sciences and the individual will independently serve as an Analytical Research and Development representative in a highly cross-functional team, which includes Discovery, Process Chemistry, Quantitative and Translational ADME Sciences (QTAS), Safety Pharmacology, Pre-Clinical Safety (PCS), and Molecular Profiling and Drug Delivery (MPDD). Candidates should be comfortable discussing organic chemistry topics relevant to analytical chemistry, such as stereoisomers, common functional groups, and pKa values. Experience with chromatographic analysis (such as HPLC or GC) and Mass Spectrometry is highly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Responsible for efficiently leading and supporting new synthetic modality product development, from an analytical perspective, while working with cross-functional areas to advance projects through the development pipeline.

• Support new synthetic modality product development with advanced analytics to drive the pipeline and impactful research initiatives.
