Months Work Arrangement:

Hybrid (4 days onsite lab-based)

Position Summary:

Product Development Science and Technology (PDS&T) is seeking a motivated Scientist, specifically for parenteral process development and commercial site scale up and tech transfer. The candidate will independently design and execute lab studies to develop robust manufacturing processes for clinical phase and commercial products. This person will generate and analyze precise, reliable, and reproducible data in a timely manner, independently or under the direction of a more senior scientific leader. This position will be an integral part of the product development and CMC teams.

Background & Context:

Supporting parenteral process development, scale-up, and tech transfer within PDS&T for The Organization.

Key Responsibilities:

Supporting the process development of parenteral drug products including liquid and lyophilized drug products. Design and execute studies evaluating the stability (chemical & physical) of biologics against solution conditions (pH, ionic strength, temperature, light, moisture, etc.) and physical stresses arising from manufacturing process conditions (freeze thaw, mixing, filtration, filling, and lyophilization), to develop robust dosage forms. Interpret results and draw conclusions from own multistage experiments, note significant deviations, then suggest, design, and pursue relevant experiments. Generate and analyze precise, reliable, and reproducible data. Mid-level scientific reporting, documentation support, data mapping and presentation.

Qualifications & Experience:

Bachelor's Degree, or equivalent education, with typically 3 or more years' experience or Master's degree or equivalent education with 0 years' experience in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or similar area. Hands-on lab-based experience (running instruments/tools preferred). Experience supporting parenteral drug product development (liquid and/or lyophilized). Exposure to mixing, filtration, and lyophilization studies (lyo is a plus). Understanding of stability studies (chemical & physical) under various conditions. Exposure to process-related stresses including freeze-thaw, mixing, filtration, filling, and lyophilization. Ability to execute experiments and support lab studies. Ability to interpret results, identify deviations, and support follow-up experiments. Strong data manipulation and analysis skills. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and graphing/data visualization tools. Experience with documentation, data mapping, and presenting data clearly. Demonstrated scientific writing skills and strong verbal communication skills.
