Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Scientist with solid-state characterization expertise to support pharmaceutical material and drug product development. The successful candidate will analyze active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), intermediates, excipients, and drug products using a range of analytical techniques. This role requires strong laboratory skills, sound scientific judgment, clear data interpretation, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

Duties & Responsibilities:

• Conduct solid-state characterization studies to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of pharmaceutical materials.
• Perform routine and investigative analyses using solid-state and spectroscopic techniques, including:
• • XRPD (X-ray Powder Diffraction)
  • Raman Spectroscopy
  • Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
  • Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
  • Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
  • Karl Fischer (KF) moisture analysis
  • Particle size analysis

• Characterize crystalline, amorphous, hydrate, and solvate forms of drug substances and drug products.
• Support investigations related to polymorphism, crystallinity, phase transformations, moisture uptake, and thermal behavior.
• Analyze and interpret data, prepare concise technical summaries, and communicate findings to project teams.
• Maintain accurate laboratory records and ensure compliance with internal procedures and data integrity requirements.
• Assist with sample preparation, instrument calibration, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance.
