Analytical Scientist

About the Role

This lab-based role provides hands-on support for routine pharmaceutical analytical testing through the execution of critical experiments that drive animal health product development.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute sample testing using analytical techniques including, but not limited to, liquid chromatography (LC) methods such as HPLC, UPLC, and LC-MS, as well as SEC, cIEF, and SDS assays.
• Prepare samples, standards, controls, and reagents required for analytical testing.
• Perform accurate, precise, and reproducible pipetting to support high-quality analytical testing.
• Organize, interpret, and present experimental data to peers to support project advancement.
• Run, analyze, and evaluate experiments that support analytical method optimization and product development objectives.
• Ensure experiments are well designed and documented with clear objectives.
• Technically manage small-scale laboratory projects as required.
• Identify process improvement opportunities through data analysis, observation, and technical report writing in collaboration with senior scientists and technicians.
• Organize and execute routine experimental work in accordance with established methods, SOPs, and applicable regulatory guidelines.
• Ensure high-quality data and documentation practices by authoring technical reports and contributing to the creation of SOPs.
• Independently operate and perform basic troubleshooting of laboratory equipment relevant to assigned work.
• Recognize and communicate atypical results/deviations and support investigation and resolution as needed.
• Accurately document work in batch records and/or electronic laboratory notebooks.
• Collaborate with scientists and cross-functional teams to share key learnings to advance portfolio projects and drive new platform innovations.
• Adapt to new procedures and evolving project needs in a dynamic R&D environment.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized laboratory work environment and encourage safe behaviors by coworkers.
• Contribute to a cohesive team environment and maintain a positive attitude.
