Analytical Chemist
Analytical Chemists develop and perform methods to identify, quantify, and characterize pharmaceutical substances and formulations. They play a critical role in R&D, quality control, and regulatory submissions.
Typical activities include:
Developing new analytical methods – For impurities, assay, and dissolution using HPLC, GC, MS, and spectroscopy techniques.
Conducting forced degradation and stability testing – To support ICH-compliant studies.
Analyzing formulation components – Ensuring consistency and accuracy in tablet, injectable, or topical drug products.
Documenting in compliance with GMP – Preparing protocols, reports, and contributing to CMC sections of regulatory filings.
Collaborating with formulation and process development teams – To support product lifecycle from early development through commercialization.
This role suits scientists with a strong understanding of chemical properties, instrumentation, and ICH/FDA guidance.
