They should be comfortable calibrating, maintaining, and troubleshooting analytical equipment, and familiar with Bruker TopSpin or equivalent data-acquisition software. The candidate should demonstrate solid understanding of organic chemistry principles, communicate clearly with chemists and cross-functional teams, and work effectively in a lab environment that supports multiple scientists. Strong English communication, organizational skills, and reliability are essential. Recent graduates with academic + internship experience are welcome.

Responsibilities include:

+ Monitor or follow established experimental designs and protocols to perform routine tasks and studies

+ Plan, conduct, analyze, and record experiments; provide interpretation of data

+ Transfer experimental methods from literature to the lab and modify as needed

+ Develop and implement new protocols with moderate review

+ Engage coworkers in scientific discussions

+ Communicate data and interpretations to the work group

+ Develop systems to ensure quality data

+ Operate standard laboratory equipment and major instruments/techniques

+ Troubleshoot equipment and experimental issues effectively

+ Contribute to internal/external reports, presentations, regulatory documents, invention disclosures, and/or patents

+ Participate in department-wide support efforts such as safety, recruiting, and committees

+ Train staff and/or supervise others as needed

Basic Qualifications

+ Education: Master’s degree or Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Biochemistry, or Analytical Chemistry.

+ Experience: Minimum 2 years of relevant experience in a biopharmaceutical working environment

Top skills:

+ Degree in Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related field.

+ General instrumentation experience with the ability to set up novel experiments and calibrate NMR and LC-MS instruments.

+ Experience with the operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of Bruker NMR spectrometers, HPLC and MS equipment (Agilent, Waters).

+ Experience using 1D (1H, 13C, 19F, 31P, etc.) and 2D (COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC, etc.) multinuclear solution-state NMR experiments for structure confirmation.

+ Ability to run automated acquisition and analysis software programs such as Bruker Topspin or Agilent MassHunter.

+ Experience with NMR and LC-MS data analysis packages such as ACD/Spectrus or Mestre Nova.

+ Familiarity with the principles of organic chemistry, analytical and separation sciences, and automated liquid handling systems.
