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!

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 be responsible for every part of the analytical method plan, from sample preparation to final report.

In addition to your day to day laboratory work, you will also be expected to research the latest technologies and practices with a view to implementing these in the workplace and evolving 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 either from pharmaceutical or e-fate or environmental studies
