Job description

Take the opportunity to advance analytical method development for complex peptide-based products. As a Postdoc in Parenteral Development, you will work with high-resolution Mass Spectrometry (MS) and (multidimensional) separation techniques to establish innovative analytical approaches and generate deeper insights into peptide analytics.

This position is part time eligible with 80 %.

Postdoc: This Position is limited for 2 years.

Note: To make it easier to find our job advertisements, we use the usual designation "postdoc". Of course, this advertisement is not only addressed to applicants directly after completing their doctorate, but to all qualified candidates.

Tasks & responsibilities

• Your main responsibility will be to develop innovative stability-indicating methods for parenteral products based on peptides, using the high-resolution HPLC-MS.
• With a focus on advanced method development, you will establish and optimize (multidimensional) High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)-MS approaches, to achieve high-resolution separation and comprehensive characterization of impurities and degradation products.
• Furthermore, you will apply DoE, Bayesian optimization, and other modeling approaches for method optimization and comparison.
• You will leverage the capabilities of high-resolution MS to support reliable interpretation of stability data.
• Working closely with colleagues across analytical and interdisciplinary CMC teams, you will address complex analytical challenges, support emerging analytical requirements and contribute to efficient project progression.
• In addition to these responsibilities, you will establish and share expertise in within the laboratory, enabling effective knowledge transfer and broader application of the technology across projects.
