Associate Principal Analytical Scientist

​Associate Principal Analytical Scientist

This is an outstanding opportunity for a research and development focused chemist who is looking to work outside of a GMP setting and truly utilise their scientific expertise to solve client challenges.

We are partnering with a very exciting CRO that is expanding its operations in one of the facilities based in South Wales. With plans to expand their service offering they are now looking to build on a very successful period of growth over recent years.

This position will work in a small analytical team to support a growing team of organic and synthetic chemists. With a core focus on chemical testing method development, you will really need to understand how chromatography works and not just be a “user” of the process.

Client contact will be essential as you take a lead on project oversight. Therefore, strong stakeholder management skills will be as important as your technical capabilities.

In addition, given the growth plans of the business, there is a clear pathway for development into a Principal Scientist position and beyond.

For further information please contact Mark Bux-Ryan.

Key experience:

• Experienced method development experience within the pharmaceutical industry

• Solid understanding of chromatography including HPLC

• Experience in study and/or project management of R&D projects

• Strong communication skills

• PhD or MSc educated within a chemistry discipline

This is not a GMP environment and therefore problem solving “outside of the box” is key.
