Purpose of the Role: Carry out research focused on the development and optimization of chemical processes for both new and existing molecules, driving innovation, enabling scale-up readiness, and supporting technical documentation under the guidance of the Group Lead, with the objective of contributing to UPLs business growth. Job Responsibilities: 1. Execute multi-step organic synthesis for target molecules as per project requirements. 2. Conduct literature surveys and propose synthetic routes using tools like SciFinder and Reaxys. 3. Optimize reaction conditions to improve yield, purity, and process efficiency. 4. Maintain accurate records of experiments, observations, and results in ELNs or lab notebooks. 5. Collaborate with analytical and process teams for characterization and scale-up support. 6. Ensure compliance with safety protocols and maintain a clean and organized lab environment. 7. Participate in technical discussions and contribute to project reports and presentations. 8. Assist in technology transfer and pilot plant trials when required. Qualification: a. MSc in Chemistry with 3-7 yrs of experience b. Familiarity with analytical techniques (NMR, HPLC, GC, IR) and interpretation of data. c. Experience with scale-up and process development is a plus. d. Good record maintenance, safe handling practises of chemicals and chemical wastes.
Purpose of the Role: To conduct research under guidance of group lead to optimise the cost and improve the yield to aid in the business growth of UPL Job Responsibilities: 1. To set up reactions based on discussion and planning with Team Leader to optimise synthesis of out of patent agrochemical intermediates and active ingredient. 2. To carry out reactions to develop non-infringing processes and improve cost effectiveness of existing products by improving yield, modifying processes and maintaining quality, monitoring and concluding based on analysis. 3. Communicate on daily basis on the progress of the project. 4. Achieve reproducibility and consistency of results. Maintain daily records and update for QMS system. 5. Follow safe handling practises of chemicals and reactions to maintain industrial hygiene and reduce environmental wastes. 6. Tabulate data of experiments needed for review meeting. 7. Maintenance of Equipment or instruments given under laboratory control. Collaborate with other divisions for work related matters. Qualification: a) MSc in Chemistry with 1-3 yrs of experience. b) Setting up reactions, monitoring and conclude based on analysis. Reproducibility and consistency of results. c) Good record maintenance, safe handling practises of chemicals and chemical wastes.
