Job description

Eurofins Scientific is a global leader in analytical testing, operating over 950 labs in 60 countries with 65,000 employees.

Job Description

Example of a case study:

Client is attempting to get their medical device approved by FDA for market and clinical use. This requires chemical characterization by ISO 10993-18, a service offered by EAG Laboratories.

The extractables are ultimately assessed by a toxicologist for safety/risk. An individual in this role would be conducting the interpretation (identification) of the LCMS and/or GCMS extractable data. This would be high-throughput, moderate-paced, location-flexible work (primarily on-site, but able to be done remotely, as needed).
