Your impact begins here

As an Advanced Research Scientist, you will help strengthen analytical execution by taking ownership of scientific challenges and driving practical solutions for our laboratories. You will provide scientific direction, support analytical investigations and help implement and validate analytical methods. Working across teams, you will bring people and expertise together, make priorities clear and help establish effective ways of working in a newly established department. Your contribution will support reliable analytical results across development projects and clinical trial phases.

What you’ll bring

• A Master’s degree in a relevant scientific discipline, such as chemistry, pharmacy, biology, biotechnology or engineering.
• Practical and theoretical knowledge of high-performance liquid chromatography and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography, HPLC and UPLC. This experience is essential for succeeding in the role.
• Relevant professional experience within analytical science. Around three or more years of experience may be sufficient if you bring strong technical capabilities and the right approach.
• The ability to coordinate work, engage stakeholders and turn different perspectives into clear priorities and next steps.
• A proactive and collaborative approach, with the confidence to take ownership, challenge existing practices constructively and follow actions through.
• Knowledge of Good Manufacturing Practice, GMP, is an advantage, as is experience with deviations, change control, method standardisation or laboratory investigations.

What you’ll do

• Provide scientific support to laboratory technicians and drive the resolution of analytical and operational challenges in day-to-day laboratory activities.
• Support the implementation, execution and validation of analytical methods, ensuring robust and consistent analytical work.
• Lead or contribute to deviation handling, laboratory investigations, change controls and other quality-related activities.
• Collaborate with a broad range of stakeholders.
• Coordinate scientific activities across analytical teams and help the department use its knowledge and resources effectively.
• Identify opportunities for improvement and help implement clearer processes and practical solutions as the department develops its ways of working.

Who you’ll work with

You will join CMC Analytical Execution and Technology, part of CMC Analysis & Characterisation. The department delivers analytical results across projects ranging from early development to phase 3 clinical trials and works with different sample types, including liquid formulations and oral products. The department was formed by bringing together execution activities from two existing organisations. Today, it consists of five analytical teams and two technical teams, with almost 150 colleagues in total. You will be based in one of the analytical teams while contributing across the department when priorities and scientific needs require it.

Your closest collaborators will include laboratory technicians, fellow scientists, analytical development colleagues and stakeholders who depend on the department’s analytical results. As the organisation continues to align roles, processes and interfaces, you will have a direct opportunity to help define effective collaboration and strengthen analytical execution across teams.
