Chemometrician (R4) Senior Scientist

The candidate would be responsible for the design and application of univariate and multivariate data analysis tools to data sets generated for active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug products. Familiarity with a variety of spectroscopic instruments and data formats would be an advantage. The ability to apply similar multivariate principles to process parameter data sets such as MSPC, latent variable modeling techniques and MPC would be an advantage. The candidate would work with multiple project teams in support of the Right First Time initiative within the Co-Development process. One of the focal points of these analyses would be increased process understanding of our unit operations and contributing to the development of an integrated control strategy.
