sterile liquid drug products such as solutions, emulsions, and suspensions.

The ideal candidate will have experience with sterile processing and sterilization techniques, analytical characterization of liquid formulations, and hands-on laboratory experience with
HPLC/UPLC. This role requires strong experimental skills, scientific problem-solving, accurate documentation, and the ability to independently plan and execute laboratory studies.





Key Responsibilities


- Plan and execute laboratory experiments supporting sterile liquid formulation and manufacturing process development.
- Develop and characterize sterile liquid dosage forms, including solutions, emulsions, and suspensions.
- Perform analytical and characterization studies to generate accurate, scientifically sound data.
- Evaluate formulation and process parameters and interpret experimental results.
- Apply scientific problem-solving and statistical approaches to support formulation and process development.
- Perform characterization using techniques such as pH, osmolality, viscosity/rheology, turbidity, particle size, and physical appearance.
- Perform hands-on HPLC/UPLC analysis using detectors such as UV, PDA, and RI.
- Independently plan, execute, analyze, and interpret laboratory experiments as required.
- Maintain accurate and timely documentation in electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) while ensuring data integrity.
- Prepare technical reports and communicate experimental results, conclusions, and recommendations.
- Present data and participate in project and team meetings.
- Maintain laboratory equipment and instrumentation to ensure operational readiness.
- Follow all applicable company, safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.
