Job posting: Analytical Scientist-Synthetic Molecule Design and Development, Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, IN

Via ACS Chemistry Careers: 

Synthetic Molecule Design and Development has an exciting opportunity for an analytical chemist to join our development group. You will be part of a diverse team of analytical chemists, organic chemists, pharmaceutical scientists, and engineers delivering product and process understanding across a broad range of platforms (e.g. small molecule, peptides, and oligonucleotides). Top candidates for this position will be able to:

• Engage with scientists across Eli Lilly's Development and Manufacturing organizations to develop and implement robust analytical methods and control strategies
• Evaluate and/or deploy new analytical technologies/methods to advance Lilly's current analytical capabilities

The ideal candidate will possess a breadth of analytical experience, a proven track record of success in conducting laboratory experiments, and a solid foundation in analytical data analysis. Candidates should excel in technical problem-solving, demonstrate learning agility, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

Position Responsibilities:

• Independently generate data to inform development activities using HPLC, UHPLC, GC, and LCMS
• Develop robust analytical methods (e.g., HPLC purity, potency) and collaborate with other functions or external partners to enable the successful transfer and implementation of those methods...

Basic Qualifications:

• BS or MS in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or a related field

Additional Skills/Preferences:

• Prior experience with the analysis of pharmaceutical products (e.g., drug substances, solid oral dosage forms) or similar laboratory activities
• Experience with chromatographic separations and a strong working knowledge of other techniques commonly used for the analysis of synthetic molecules (e.g., FTIR, NMR, UV-Vis, KF, ICP, DSC, TGA, XRPD)
• Deep understanding of analytical method characterization and the associated performance attributes (e.g., linearity, precision, LOD/LOQ)...
