A successful candidate will join the GSK Materials Science department and work as part of a multifunctional team responsible for identifying key Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) attributes and translating this knowledge into the design of crystallisation and milling processes that deliver API suitable for formulation.

Responsibilities:

• Design and execute laboratory experiments to produce API with appropriate properties for drug product processing

• Perform data management and data interpretation, record results effectively and communicate results in technical reports

• Work effectively and collaboratively in multi-disciplinary development teams alongside, Material Scientists, Chemists, Analysts, Engineers, and Formulation scientists

• Effectively present data and findings at internal meetings

• Be an active contributor to scientific peer discussions

• Comply with local safety and quality requirements

Opportunities

• A successful candidate will be exposed to a broad range of pharmaceutical Materials Science activities in support of the optimisation of GSK medicines, working alongside team members from other product development disciplines

• Learn key pharmaceutical industry skills such as salt / polymorph screening and selection, crystallography, physical properties characterisation, crystallisation and size reduction process development

• Receive mentorship from experienced GSK team members to support your role development

• Receive training on a wide range of physical and chemical characterisation methods including XRPD, DSC, TGA, Raman, NMR, HPLC, SEM and Light Microscopy

• Candidates will become an important part of a pharmaceutical development lab, offering great experience and insight into working in a lab-based role in a pharmaceutical company
