Is this you?

Are you the person your team turns to when an HPLC method won’t behave? Do you enjoy taking a tricky separation from “it can’t be done” to a validated, robust method? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for a Senior Scientist in Analytical Chemistry with strong HPLC expertise, ideally alongside GC, SFC, NMR or other techniques used to characterise APIs. You’ll support our chemistry projects, develop and validate analytical methods, act as the go-to expert on characterising Starting Materials, Intermediates and APIs, and work hand in hand with our Process Chemistry colleagues.
