Chemical and Pharmaceutical R&D Chemist - Synthesis

Role & responsibilities

Process Development:

• Conduct research and design experiments to develop and optimize synthetic

routes for API molecules.

• Perform literature searches for identified API molecules to determine synthesis

routes, polymorphs, and analytical methods.

• Conduct experimental trials to assess feasibility and optimize designed

synthetic routes for API molecules.

Documentation:

• Record all experiments in the laboratory notebook (LNB) and maintain

corresponding analytical data in organized folders.

• Design synthetic routes for the synthesis and isolation of impurities and

reference standards.

• Ensure all documentation meets Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and

regulatory standards.

Safety and Compliance:

• Adhere to all safety protocols and ensure a safe working environment in the

laboratory.

• Develop non-infringing synthetic processes based on literature, raw material

availability, and polymorph studies.

• Stay up-to-date with industry trends, regulatory guidelines, and advancements

in chemical synthesis and analytical techniques.Team Collaboration:

• Plan daily activities for team members, focusing on feasibility studies, process

optimization, and laboratory validation.

• Work closely with the Analytical Research and Development (ARD) team on

method development, in-process testing, and reference standards qualification.

Qualifications:

• Education: MSc/BSc in Organic Chemistry,
• Experience: Fresher or 1-2 years experience in process development and

optimization in the pharmaceutical or bulk drug industry.

• Skills:
• Strong knowledge of synthetic organic chemistry and process chemistry.
• Proficiency in using and interpreting data from analytical instruments.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Effective communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects

simultaneously.

Preferred candidate profile

We are looking for a talented and driven junior R&D Associate to join our team. The successful

candidate will be responsible for developing and optimizing chemical processes for

synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This role requires a strong

background in synthetic organic chemistry, process development, and scale-up

techniques. The R&D Chemist will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure

the smooth transition of processes from the lab to full-scale production.
