Position Summary

The position will be responsible for evaluating and de-risking methods from discovery to development stage. The individual will provide leadership on the method development and non-regulated study support of development compounds from various modalities (small molecule, large molecule therapeutics, etc.) via tandem/high resolution mass spectrometry. In addition, the candidate will play a critical role as an expert in the evaluation advanced laboratory equipment. There are also development opportunities to act as a BA lead on cross-functional study teams, and work with them to address bioanalytical-related issues.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate and apply novel techniques or approaches to address challenging bioanalytical issues.
• Conduct in-house bioanalytical support for exploratory/development programs with tandem/high resolution mass spectrometry-based method development, method troubleshooting, sample analysis, data interpretation, to report preparation.
• Be the technical expert on extraction, chromatography, mass spectrometric instrumentation, stability, and other method related issues.
• Interact with bioanalytical CROs to address method related issues and provide leadership for the knowledge transfer of novel technologies.
• Keep management apprised of project status and current scientific trends using written and oral summaries, as well as presentations.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree
