Senior Spectroscopy Scientist (NMR)

Responsibilities

• Provides laboratory support in solid-state NMR (ssNMR) data collection and interpretation for pharmaceutical materials.
• 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.

• 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.
