Résumé du poste

Johnson & Johnson Beerse site seeks an (Senior) Scientist in API Particle Engineering to help design and engineer crystalline particle attributes for robust, scalable APIs. Based in Belgium, you will join the Crystallization Technology Unit (CTU) and work on crystallization, isolation, drying, and particle characterization to expand particle engineering capabilities.

This fixed-term role spans 24 months, offering access to state-of-the-art facilities, collaboration with cross-functional teams,

Qualifications

• PhD (or equivalent experience) in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Materials Science, or related discipline.
• Strong understanding of crystallization and process engineering principles.
• Hands-on laboratory experience with crystallization experiments.
• Excellent scientific communication skills in English, both verbal and written.

Responsabilités

• Design and optimize particle engineering strategies to achieve target API characteristics such as particle size distribution, morphology, density, filtration performance, flowability, and solid-state form.
• Leverage crystallization fundamentals and engineering tools to research process control over particle attributes.
• Develop mechanistic understanding of particle formation and evolution through data-rich experimentation, process analytics, and scientific modeling.
• Evaluate the impact of process parameters on crystallization behavior, particle properties, manufacturability, and downstream process performance.
• Design scalable processes that consistently deliver desired API specifications from laboratory through commercial manufacturing.
• Apply advanced analytical techniques and PAT tools (e.g., UPLC, XRD, Raman, ATR-FTIR, laser diffraction, image analysis, DSC, DVS,…) to guide your research.
• Drive innovation in particle engineering through external collaborations, scientific networking, and engagement with academic partners.
