Job description

There’s something about that first glimpse of the sea that lifts the heart and summons a wave of nostalgia. Sea air, fresh fish straight off the boat, local ice cream, seagulls, sunset strolls, seals and sea shanties carrying up on the wind from the harbour (genuinely!) All that was within 2 hours of visiting. Can you imagine actually living there? Well, this is your opportunity!

Our client has a reputation in the field for tackling highly complex analytical studies that require extensive industry expertise to solve. If you are seeking a role that will challenge and expand your analytical chemistry knowledge, as well as an enviable life by the sea, then this is the ideal role for you!

As a Senior Analytical Scientist in their Met ID team, you will be responsible for designing, optimizing, and applying analytical methods to ecotoxicological, e-fate, physchem, and residue studies; detecting and characterizing metabolites in complex matrices. You will have access to the latest mass spec technologies, including Thermo Orbitrap.

In collaboration with colleagues, you will oversee every part of the analytical method plan, from sample preparation to final report. Additionally, you will be expected to research the latest technologies and practices to implement these in the workplace and evolve the company’s working practices and services.

The ideal candidate will have the following experience:

• BSc/MChem/PhD in Chemistry/Analytical Chemistry or related subject
• Knowledge of method development, specifically using LC-MS for Met ID studies, from pharmaceutical, e-fate, or environmental studies
• Understanding of industry regulations such as GLP, GMP, or ISO
• Knowledge of Sciex and/or ThermoFisher mass spectrometry technology is advantageous

Interviews will be conducted in a two-stage process: virtual and onsite. If you are not located in the UK, an entirely virtual interview process will be available.

The company offers exceptional career growth opportunities within a friendly and supportive team. Along with a competitive salary, pension, and benefits, you will enjoy an unrivalled working environment, including an active social calendar and subsidised canteen.
