Location: North Chicago, IL; 60064 Duration: 12 months Job Description: Product Development Science and Technology (PDS&T) is seeking a highly motivated, self-driven scientist, specifically with knowledge and experience in aseptic filling of parenteral products, process development and commercial site scale up and tech transfers. The candidate is additionally expected to be familiar with and comply with regulatory standards within pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. The candidate will independently design and execute lab studies to develop robust manufacturing processes for clinical phase and commercial products. This person will generate and analyze precise, reliable, and reproducible data in a timely manner, independently or under the direction of a more senior scientific leader. This position will be an integral part of the product development and CMC teams. Key Responsibilities: * Supporting lab studies for process development and technology transfer of parenteral drug products. Modalities can be synthetic molecules and biologics, including antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). * Design and execute lab studies evaluating the stability (chemical & physical) of biologics against solution conditions and physical stresses arising from manufacturing process conditions (freeze thaw, mixing, filtration, filling, and lyophilization), to develop robust dosage forms and manufacturing processes. * Design, execute and interpret critical lab experiments to answer scientific questions. Understand the broad objectives of the project as well as their role in achieving those objectives, and modify experimental plan when required, to respond. * Interpret results and draw conclusions from own multistage experiments, note significant deviations, then suggest, design, and pursue relevant experiments. * Set and meet experimental timelines.
