Scientist - Solid State Characterization , XRPD , Raman

Submission for the position: Scientist - Solid State Characterization , XRPD , Raman - (Job Number: 173816)

In labs and health care facilities worldwide- HERE WE ARE

PPD is a leading global contract research organization. At PPD we are passionate, deliberate, and driven by our purpose - to improve health.

PPD Laboratories offers the most comprehensive set of laboratory services available in the industry and continues to deliver innovative solutions to our customers through our collaborative approach, including PPD® Laboratories FSP. PPD® Laboratories FSP is a unique partnership that allows our customers to leverage the experience of our PPD staff, while allowing you, the employee, to gain direct experience working onsite at a pharmaceutical company, all while maintaining full-time benefits/advantages of being a part of PPD.

As a Scientist, you will join the Analytical Development team to support solid state characterization and method development, validation and execution for pharmaceutical materials across the discovery and development pipeline. You will use state-of-the-art technologies to support early and late stage pharmaceutical development with a variety of solid state and physicochemical techniques including X-ray powder diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic light scattering, surface area measurement and SEM among others while onsite at a pharmaceutical client site. The importance of specific experience with any particular technique is secondary to the importance of the your ability to generate consistently high quality characterization data and maintain associated written records. You will be asked to contribute to a variety of projects across the development pipeline, and to do so in a timely manner while working onsite at a major pharmaceutical customer site.

Additional key responsibilities for the role on site at a major pharmaceutical company:

Generate physicochemical characterization data to support chemical and pharmaceutical process development as well as release and stability of drug substance and drug product.Generate physical form and physical characterization data for release and stability under GMPManage sample receipt and document results according to the customer's procedures.At PPD we hire the best, develop ourselves and each other, and recognize the power of being one team. It's not just talk, our award-winning training programs speak for themselves.
