MSAT Scientist

Responsibilities

• As a MSAT Scientist you develop, execute and/or transfer liquid-chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods.
• You act as an expert for LC-MS and analytical HPLC.
• You integrate characterization LC-MS data with process/product knowledge.
• You are responsible for the end-to-end method, starting with method development up to method validation and transfer into a quality control organization.
• You are responsible for the identification of improvements for existing methods to introduce new technology, increase method robustness, and reduce release cycle time.
• You do the investigational support for product and process, generation of scientific/technical study protocols and report.
• You are responsible for the impact assessment upon signification deviations in the analytical methods, production process and providing technical/scientific expertise.
• You support analytical activities for product characterization, transfer and process improvements for products in late development, next-generation, or commercial phase.

Requirements

• You have a PhD or Master in Life Sciences or equivalent through relevant experience.
• Prior hands-on experience with LC-MS is highly desired.
• Experience with large molecule LC-MS data interpretation (at intact of peptide levels) is a plus.
