Analytical Characterization Scientist

Job Description

The Analytical Characterization Scientist plays a key role in supporting the development of biotherapeutic products through advanced analytical testing and molecular characterization. This is a hands-on, laboratory-based position focused on applying analytical chemistry techniques to evaluate biologics across the development lifecycle.

This role is responsible for generating high-quality analytical data to assess molecular integrity, purity, and stability using a range of chromatographic, electrophoretic, and biophysical methods. The scientist will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to support formulation development and candidate progression from early-stage research through commercialization.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform analytical characterization of biotherapeutic molecules using a variety of techniques, including:
  • HPLC-based methods (SE-HPLC, IEX, HIC, RP-HPLC)
  • Capillary electrophoresis (CGE, iCE)
  • Spectroscopic and biophysical characterization techniques
  • Particulate analysis (light obscuration, microflow imaging)
• Generate, analyze, and interpret complex datasets to assess product quality attributes such as purity, heterogeneity, and stability
• Support formulation and process development by providing analytical insights on candidate molecules
• Compile and present analytical data for internal stakeholders; contribute to technical reports and documentation
• Utilize laboratory data systems such as Empower and electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) for data management and integrity
• Maintain laboratory operations, including equipment upkeep, reagent management, and participation in continuous improvement initiatives
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including formulation scientists, process development, and project management

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutics, Chemical/Biochemical Engineering, Biotechnology, or related scientific field
