This role requires:

• Bachelor’s degree required, Master’s degree preferred in peptide, peptidomimetic, small molecule purification
• Minimum of 5 years of industry experience.
• Extensive hands-on experience of the HPLC purification/detection and method troubleshooting of peptidomimetics
• Hands-on experience with Waters and/or Agilent purifications systems preferred
• Hands-on experience with mass-triggered collection preferred
• Experience with high throughput purification
• Extensive experience running modern purification/isolation equipment and instrumentation
• A track record of success in the field of either peptidomimetics or small molecules purification is required.
• Working collaboratively with both internal and external organizations (e.g., CROs) is essential.
