Principal Formulation Chemist
Principal Formulation Chemists lead the design and development of pharmaceutical formulations that optimize the delivery, stability, and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). They oversee pre-formulation studies, develop new drug delivery systems, and guide products through scale-up and tech transfer.
Key responsibilities:
Designing dosage forms – Including tablets, capsules, suspensions, injectables, or inhalables tailored to the physicochemical properties of the API.
Conducting compatibility and stability studies – Using analytical methods like HPLC, DSC, and particle sizing to evaluate formulation performance over time.
Guiding scale-up and GMP manufacturing – Working with process engineers and quality teams to ensure reproducibility and regulatory readiness.
Leading formulation strategy – Including QbD approaches, DoE experimental planning, and documentation for regulatory submissions (e.g. IND, NDA, MA).
Mentoring formulation scientists – Providing scientific and strategic leadership to support R&D milestones and client projects.
This role typically requires experience with excipients, granulation, lyophilization, and other pharmaceutical manufacturing techniques, along with strong knowledge of ICH, FDA, and EMA expectations.
Brighton
Brighton is a large, cosmopolitan city in East Sussex on the South Cost of England 50 miles south of London and 15 miles from Worthing. Transports links with regular trains from Brighton to London Victoria, the A23 leading to the M25 and London Gatwick airport only 28 miles away. The city has been a very popular seaside resort since the Georgian era when the Price Regent constructed the exotic Royal Pavilion. The Victorian Palace pleasure pier offers traditional candy floss, fish & chips and deckchairs in contrast to the ultra-modern British Airways i360, the highest moving observation platform in the world. Brighton is also famous for its huge selection of quirky shops, galleries, restaurants, pubs and bars as well as its pulsating nightlife. From a business point of view, Brighton has several large conference and exhibition venues and has recently been dubbed Silicon Beach due to the huge number of digital media companies that are based in the city.
