Job Description

Objective: Perspective Therapeutics is seeking a highly motivated hands-on scientist with expertise in sterile injectable drug products to join our dynamic CMC drug product team. This role is critical in supporting the development of sterile injectable formulations and drug product process development from early development through scale-up and commercial manufacturing. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in developing and optimizing injectable radiopharmaceutical formulations and associated manufacturing processes in a cGMP-compliant environment.

Working in a fast-paced, integrated, and multidisciplinary environment, the successful candidate is expected to collaborate cross-functionally while also delivering strong independent contributions that support product advancement to late-stage clinical development and commercialization.

1. Serve as the technical subject matter expert (SME) for formulation and drug product process development.
2. Conduct formulation/process development studies, including comparability, stability, and compatibility assessments.
3. Lead scale-up and technology transfer activities to support manufacturing.
4. Draft detailed study plans to ensure that work is performed efficiently and in a scientifically sound manner.
5. Monitor experiments (e.g., process development, formulation optimization) and ensure complex data are interpreted correctly.
6. Support filter and container closure integrity validation studies and other special studies as necessary.
7. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Analytical, Quality, Regulatory, and Manufacturing.
8. Author formulation and process development reports, study protocols, and regulatory CMC module 3 documentation to support late-stage IND and NDA submissions.
9. Ensure all work is performed in accordance with company policies, procedures, and safety standards.
10. Ensure documents follow relevant regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, USP, ICH) and CMC guidelines.
11. Troubleshoot and propose scientifically sound solutions in collaboration with internal teams.
12. Provide technical support during regulatory inspections and audits, as needed.
