An exciting opportunity for an experienced Analytical Chemist to join a leading analytical research team focused on developing innovative analytical capabilities to support product development, scientific research, and regulatory requirements.
As an experienced analytical chemist with LC-MS or GC-MS will play a key part in the development and application of advanced analytical methodologies, delivering high-quality scientific data to support innovation, product understanding, competitor analysis, and regulatory submissions.
As an experienced analytical chemist, you will possess strong expertise in advanced instrumental analysis, method development, non-targeted screening techniques, and complex data interpretation.
Key Responsibilities
* Plan, execute, and deliver analytical research projects, ensuring the generation of high-quality, scientifically robust data.
* Develop and implement innovative analytical methodologies to support product development, scientific research, and regulatory activities.
* Lead and contribute to method development, optimisation, validation, and transfer activities within a quality-controlled laboratory environment.
* Apply advanced analytical techniques LC-MS OR GC-MS, HRMS to investigate complex chemical matrices and generate meaningful scientific insights.
* Conduct targeted and non-targeted analytical investigations using state-of-the-art instrumentation and data processing tools.
* Ensure analytical data meets defined quality standards and is delivered in a timely and fit-for-purpose manner.
* Collaborate with cross-functional scientific, technical, and commercial teams to develop analytical solutions and support business objectives.
* Build and maintain productive relationships with external laboratories, suppliers, academic institutions, and scientific collaborators.
* Monitor developments in analytical science and emerging technologies, identifying opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement.
* Prepare and deliver technical reports, scientific presentations, publications, and conference materials.
Experience & Skills Required
* Degree in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical Sciences,
* Experience within an analytical laboratory, research, or product development environment.
* Extensive hands-on experience using advanced analytical instrumentation, including techniques such as:
* LC-MS, GC-MS, High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS)
* Strong expertise in analytical method development, optimisation, validation, and troubleshooting.
* Experience working with complex chemical matrices and trace-level compound analysis.
* Proven experience conducting non-targeted screening studies and advanced data interpretation.
* Knowledge of laboratory quality systems and regulated laboratory environments, including ISO 17025 and/or GxP standards.
* Experience processing, analysing, and interpreting large analytical datasets.
Desirable
1. Experience with high-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry.
2. Knowledge of automated analytical data processing platforms.
3. Experience with Python programming, data science, or statistical analysis tools.
