Role Overview

We have an exciting opportunity for a Bioanalytical Scientist to join a fast-growing CRO based in the Cheshire area.

As a bioanalytical scientist, you will be primarily laboratory-based, working with the team to ensure that bioanalytical assays utilising LC-MS/MS or Ligand Binding technology are performed to a GLP/GCP standard and delivered within scheduled time frames.

The team work on a broad range of molecule types including small molecules, peptides, Oligonucleotides and Proteins. You will be involved with the development and validation of the assays and will also use the assays to analyse samples from the companys clients studies.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

Your duties as the Bioanalytical Scientist will be varied however the key duties and responsibilities are as follows:

1. You will be responsible for the development of quantitative and qualitative methods for the analyses of drugs and biomarkers within a GLP / GCP environment.

2. As a Scientist within the Bioanalysis team you will be carrying out LCMS/MS and HPLC methods for analysing drug metabolites as well as applying these methods in clinical and pre-clinical studies.

3. Your role will include preparing and planning studies and reports whilst working in compliance with GLP / GCP. Additional responsibilities will include routine MS, UPLC and bioanalytical extraction as well as method development, method validation and troubleshooting.

4. As the Senior Scientist, you will have additional responsibilities such as supervise and mentor more junior laboratory scientists as well as some responsibility with client interaction when required.

Role Requirements

To be successful in your application to this exciting opportunity as the Bioanalytical Scientist we are looking to identify the following on your profile and past history:

1. Relevant degree in a Life Sciences related degree such as, but not limited to, Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biotechnology.

2. Proven industry experience of working in a bioanalytical laboratory performing quantitative analysis and experience of sample extraction techniques for biological sample analysis.

3. Practical experience working within a regulated GLP / GCP / GxP / GMP laboratory is also essential to your application.
