Job Description For the Scientist I position, we are seeking a highly motivated candidate who can efficiently develop and 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 analyst to support 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 supporting new synthetic modality product development, from an analytical perspective, to advance projects through the development pipeline. Support new synthetic modality product development with advanced analytics to drive the pipeline and impactful research initiatives. Utilize understanding of a range of analytical techniques to conduct research and development studies related to synthetic-molecule drug substances, impurities, and impurity profiling. Highly autonomous and productive in performing laboratory research and/or method development, requiring some direction from or interaction with supervisor. May initiate new areas of investigation that are scientifically meaningful, reliable, and can be incorporated directly into a research or development program.

Capable of independently developing and troubleshooting analytical methods. Demonstrated experience with HPLC analysis and method development preferred along with expertise and fundamental understanding of spectroscopic techniques as they relate to synthetic molecule development and small molecules. Comfortable discussing organic chemistry topics within analytical R D and with partner functions. Hands-on experience with synthetic organic chemistry preferred. Self-motivated, hard-working, detail-oriented individual able to work in a fast-paced team environment. Experience in the use of computerized data handling systems and AI/ML software is a plus. High-quality written and oral communication skills and ability to interact effectively with interdisciplinary scientists and engineers. Practical knowledge of organic structure, functional groups, chemistry, and modern spectroscopic techniques as applied to small-molecule analytical analysis. Builds strong relationships with peers and cross functionally with partners outside of team to enable higher performance. Learns fast, grasps the "essence" and can change course quickly where indicated. Creates a learning environment, open to suggestions and experimentation for improvement.
