POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES:
- To design new routes to APIs and execute experimentally in the laboratory: Utilise literature, computational tools, retrosynthetic analysis and knowledge to support new route design. Participation in route design brainstorms.
- Design develop and scale up new and existing routes to pharmaceuticals: Utilise literature, computational tools and knowledge to support new route design, reaction design and experimental design.
- Design and develop safe, robust, scalable and efficient manufacturing processes for intermediates and APIs, for use on pilot plant and commercial scales.
- Practical synthetic organic chemistry: The role is laboratory-based. You will be able to carry out all aspects of practical work and to execute experiments in a safe manner, design experiments, identify and optimise reactions, design and develop workups and isolations, analyse and characterise products.
- Matrix technical management: Responsible for the scientific direction of work packages or projects. May mentor and direct other colleagues providing technical guidance.
- Partner closely with process engineers, crystallisation experts, process safety scientists, analysts and scale-up facility staff to develop the right-first-time high-quality processes.
- Present their work clearly and concisely to stakeholders, both internally and externally, through written and verbal communications. Contribute to regulatory submission authoring as well as technology transfer documentation to research and commercial manufacturing sites.
Education And Experience:
You will have gained a PhD or Postdoc in organic synthesis, with an honours degree in chemistry (or a related discipline) and have worked in an academic setting or industrial laboratories.
Technical Skills Requirements:
- Excellent knowledge of retrosynthesis and route design
- Outstanding broad knowledge of synthetic reagents, methodology, reaction mechanisms, reaction work-ups and isolations
