About The Position

The Senior Solid State NMR Scientist provides laboratory support in solid-state NMR (ssNMR) data collection and interpretation for pharmaceutical materials. Apply ssNMR to characterize a broad range of pharmaceutical materials (crystalline and non-crystalline small molecule APIs, excipients, drug product intermediates, and drug products). Apply quantitative ssNMR methods to measure components of APIs and drug products. Plan and perform experiments with minimal supervision. Collaborate with colleagues in Materials Science to define and implement characterization strategies. Solve scientific problems using contemporary Materials Science experimental techniques. Contribute to the development of new scientific approaches and knowledge within the Materials Science organization. Ensure contemporaneous and accurate entries are made in the electronic laboratory notebook system according to accepted good practice.

Requirements

Ph.D. degree in chemistry or equivalent field with expertise in ssNMR or a B.A./M.S degree in pharmaceutical science, chemistry, chemical engineering, or related field with 2-3+ years of ssNMR experience
Experience with ssNMR sample preparation, data acquisition, and interpretation of 1D and 2D spectra
Understanding of physical, analytical, and organic chemistry
Strong data analysis and interpretation skills
Good organizational skills
The ability to work independently
Excellent oral and written communication skills are required
A strong interest and motivation to learn new technologies and concepts is expected
Authorization to work in the United States indefinitely without restriction or sponsorship

Nice To Haves

Experience in solid state characterization techniques (such as x-ray powder diffraction, polarized light microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, spectroscopy, etc.) is an advantage.
Experience and understanding of vibrational spectroscopy (FTIR, NIR, FT-Raman) is an advantage.
