Responsibilities:

The ideal candidate will support the development and implementation of scale-up of small molecule drug synthesis, recombinant protein production, recovery, and protein purification processes from laboratory to pilot plants and manufacturing scale. The responsibility will include characterization of mono or muti-stage process kinetics, process optimization, and validation as well as downstream processing technology development. Troubleshooting and improvement of overall kinetics will be part of routine experimental studies of this individual. Experience of working independently as well as a member of team is an essential qualification to be considered for this position. Process optimization work experience will include but not limited to ultra filtration, chromatographic separation, liquid-liquid extraction, solid-liquid separation, crystallization and other purification steps. This candidate should be capable of supervising direct reports for management review and evaluation as the group enlarges.

Requirements:

The candidate shall have the skills and basic understanding of chemistry and chemical engineering unit operations as well as process optimization through analysis of kinetics using analytical procedures like HPLC, UV spectroscopy, and electrophoresis and others. The candidate shall be capable of developing experimental designs, and general laboratory techniques and instrumentation techniques. The candidate should have ability to work independently as well as in team environment with positive communication skills. The candidate is expected to have Ph.D. in Chemical/biochemical engineering with 2-5 years working experience in similar type of pharmaceutical industry settings.
