Present Openings
Education: A bachelor's degree in the chemistry is required. 3 years experience in cGMP analytical chemistry combined with a bachelor's degree in the physical sciences may be substituted for a chemistry degree.
Experience/Skills: At least 5 years laboratory experience with at least 3 years of industrial experience in cGMP raw material, drug substance, and/or drug product testing, including the development and validation of new analytical procedures. The candidate must have demonstrated expertise with the use of high performance liquid chromatography. Experience with drug product dissolution, FTIR, water content, microscopy, thermal analysis and/or other instrumental analyses will be strongly considered.
Summary: The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated educational and professional background in the chemical sciences including classwork in organic and physical chemistry with associated laboratory training. The candidate must have demonstrable industry experience in a cGMP laboratory environment and working knowledge of the associated laboratory and Quality systems. The candidate must be willing to work in a fast-paced team environment in a small, but rapidly expanding, pharmaceutical company focused on the development and manufacture of novel drug product formulations for clinical trials.
Responsibilities of the position will vary by project. Primary responsibilities will include the development, validation, and/or transfer of new analytical procedures for novel dosage forms. The candidate must have strong technical writing skills as they will be responsible for the drafting, review, and/or approval of technical and cGMP analytical reports. The candidate will also be responsible for routine cGMP testing, as necessary, including the testing of raw and in-process materials, finished products, and stability samples in compliance with cGMPs and company standard operating procedures. Finally, the candidate will work as part of drug product development teams to support formulation and process development, including performance and stability evaluations of prototype drug product formulations. The candidate will need (or must be willing to hone) a working knowledge of chemical thermodynamic and kinetic concepts and associated mathematics to fulfill these formulation development responsibilities.
Responsibilities include:
Education: A bachelor's degree in the physical sciences is required. A bachelor's degree in chemistry is preferred.
Experience/Skills: At least 3 years laboratory experience with at least 1.5 years of industrial experience in cGMP raw material, drug substance, and/or drug product testing. Experience with cGMP stability testing and analytical method validation is a plus, but not required. The candidate must be skilled with the use of high performance liquid chromatography. Experience with drug product dissolution, FTIR, water content, microscopy, thermal analysis and/or other instrumental analyses will be strongly considered.

Responsibilities of the position will vary by project. Routine cGMP responsibilities will focus on the sampling and testing of raw and in-process materials, finished products, and stability samples in compliance with cGMPs and company standard operating procedures. The candidate will also work with senior analytical chemists to develop, validate, and transfer analytical methodologies in support of cGMP QC and manufacturing operations. Finally, the candidate may work as part of drug product development teams to support formulation and process development, including performance and stability evaluations of prototype drug product formulations.
Responsibilities include:
Education: Bachelor's degree and/or military experience preferred; HS Diploma required
Experience: At least 1 year GMP experience preferred, but not required.
Responsibilities of the position will vary by project, but will include the following:
Agere is seeking a formulation scientist with experience developing both solid oral and parenteral dosage forms. Experience with spray drying and/or melt extrusion is desired. The successful applicant should have extensive experience with multiple unit operations and methods as well as use of instrumentation relevant to formulation development. Experience in a cGMP environment is also desired.
