Senior Solid State NMR Scientist

About the role

The Senior Solid State NMR Scientist supports laboratory operations in solid-state NMR (ssNMR) data collection and interpretation for pharmaceutical materials.

Responsibilities

• Apply ssNMR to characterize a broad range of pharmaceutical materials (crystalline and non-crystalline small molecule APIs, excipients, drug product intermediates, and drug products)
• Apply quantitative ssNMR methods to measure components of APIs and drug products
• Plan and perform experiments with minimal supervision
• Collaborate with colleagues in Materials Science to define and implement characterization strategies
• Solve scientific problems using contemporary Materials Science experimental techniques
• Contribute to the development of new scientific approaches and knowledge within the Materials Science organization

Requirements

• Ph.D. degree in chemistry or equivalent field with expertise in ssNMR or a B.A./M.S degree in pharmaceutical science, chemistry, chemical engineering, or related field with 2-3+ years of ssNMR experience
• Experience with ssNMR sample preparation, data acquisition, and interpretation of 1D and 2D spectra
• Experience in solid state characterization techniques (such as x-ray powder diffraction, polarized light microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, spectroscopy, etc.) is an advantage
• Experience and understanding of vibrational spectroscopy (FTIR, NIR, FT-Raman) is an advantage
• Understanding of physical, analytical, and organic chemistry
• Strong data analysis and interpretation skills
• Good organizational skills, the ability to work independently, and excellent oral and written communication skills are required
• A strong interest and motivation to learn new technologies and concepts is expected
