Formulations Chemists develop and refine pharmaceutical formulations to optimize drug performance, delivery, and patient compliance. They work closely with analytical chemists and process engineers to translate R&D concepts into viable drug products.

Primary responsibilities:

• Developing dosage forms – Including tablets, liquids, suspensions, and controlled-release formulations.

• Performing compatibility studies – Evaluating excipients and APIs to ensure physical and chemical stability.

• Supporting tech transfer and scale-up – Collaborating with manufacturing to ensure formulation reproducibility under GMP.

• Maintaining regulatory-compliant documentation – Preparing development reports and contributing to CTD submissions.

• Conducting process optimization studies – Using DoE and QbD principles to refine formulation parameters.

Candidates typically hold degrees in pharmaceutical sciences or chemistry and have hands-on experience with formulation tools and GMP practices.​

Devon

Situated in the South West of England, Devon has two beautiful coastlines, two National Parks and five official areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty with sandy family friendly beaches.

Historic cities include Exeter and Plymouth, with its rich maritime heritage and its status as the regional capital for culture, Plymouth is one of the most dynamic and fascinating places to visit in Devon.  With various large business parks, Plymouth Science Park currently has over 120 businesses.  This is mainly made up of life science, digital technology and e-commerce.  Annual turnover reaches £100 million, and varies from one-man start-ups to multi-national corporations.

Exeter exudes evidence of its centuries-old role as the spiritual and administrative heart of Devon. The city's Gothic cathedral presides over pockets of cobbled streets; medieval and Georgian buildings and fragments of the Roman city stretch out all around.  Exeter as you’d expect from a city with a 2,000 year history, has stunning architecture and heritage visitor attractions.  It is home to a large number of prestigious organisations who have chosen to base their national or regional headquarters there.  Large companies include Perrigo, Actavis along with Devonport Royal Dockyard and its operator Babcock International Group; South West Water's parent Pennon Group; and Plymouth's Princess Yachts to name a few.
