How you will make an impact

The Research Associate, Analytical Development plays a key role in supporting the characterization and evaluation of drug product particulates using microscopy and spectroscopic techniques. This position executes routine analytical testing, ensures accurate data documentation in a regulated environment. Through strong attention to detail and collaboration with cross-functional teams, this role contributes to reliable analytical results and overall advancement of the analytical program.

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Perform routine analytical characterization of particles under established methods, including microscopy techniques such as flow imaging microscopy to assess particle size, concentration, identification, and morphology.
• Execute visual inspection to assess drug product defects.
• Operate, maintain, and perform routine troubleshooting of analytical instrumentation (e.g., microscopes), including preparation reagents and standards.
• Accurately document experimental procedures, observations, and results in electronic laboratory notebooks in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and data integrity requirements.
• Perform routine laboratory activities such as buffer formulation, reagent preparation, pipetting, and sample handling with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail.
• Support method qualification activities by executing assigned experiments and providing data and observations to supervising scientists.
• Collaborate with Analytical Development colleagues and cross functional partners (e.g., Process Development, Formulation Development, Manufacturing) to support analytical testing needs.
• Ensure laboratory safety compliance, proper instrument calibration, and adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs).

To succeed in this role, you’ll need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical or Biological Engineering, Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related discipline with 0–2 years of relevant industry experience.
• Hands-on experience with microscopy techniques. Preferably for characterization of particle.
• Experience with spectroscopic and other biophysical techniques is a plus (e.g. FTIR, circular dichroism, analytical ultracentrifugation).
• Experience with difficult-to-inspect parenteral products (e.g. suspensions, emulsions) is a plus.
• Working knowledge of data analysis and visualization tools, including Microsoft Excel, JMP, or GraphPad Prism. Experience with Python or R for advanced data analysis is desirable.
• Demonstrated ability to accurately document experimental work using electronic laboratory notebooks (ELN).
• Knowledge of GLP principles, data integrity expectations, and regulated laboratory practices.
• Ability to follow detailed experimental protocols.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to work effectively in a collaborative laboratory environment.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills for reporting data and experimental observations to supervising scientists.

Travel: May be required up to 5% of your time.
