Scientist IV

Responsibilities:

• Excellent employment opportunity for an Scientist IV in the Ridgefield, CT area.
• Currently seeking a talented and innovative (Organic Chemist) to join our Materials and Analytical Sciences department working in our Nuclear Magnetic Resonance facility.
• As a chemist, will perform NMR experiments, assign NMR spectra and perform in-silico prediction calculations to enable structure elucidation of challenging molecules with a high level of accuracy.
• Actively contribute to the discovery, development and delivery of our products to our patients and customers.
• Our global presence provides opportunity for all employees to collaborate internationally, offering visibility and opportunity to directly contribute to the companies' success.
• Prepare NMR samples and acquire 1D and 2D multinuclear NMR data.
• Assign chemical shifts and interpret NMR data to solve chemical structures using 1D and 2D NMR spectra.
• Utilize predictive tools to assist in structure elucidation of regioisomers, stereoisomers, tautomers, etc.
• Conduct searches of literature and internal databases to assist in structure elucidation.
• Plan and perform experiments providing quality data with minimal supervision.
• Remain current with relevant scientific literature and apply knowledge to the design, modification and implementation of experiments.
• Follow protocols, prepare clear technical reports and provide scientific interpretation of results with minimal guidance.

Experience:

• MS Degree with 5 years of experience or recently granted Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry or equivalent.
• Experience with 1D and 2D NMR experiments (e.g., COSY, ROESY, HSQC, HMBC) in solving structures.
• Experience in acquisition and interpretation of multinuclear NMR data is required.
• Familiarity with basic NMR instrument troubleshooting is a plus.
• Knowledge of structure elucidation using high-resolution NMR spectroscopy is required.
• Basic knowledge of structural organic chemistry including inter-atomic distances, hydrogen bonding, torsion angle strain, hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions is desired.
• Knowledgeable in the routine use of chemical drawing programs.
• Experience with molecular modeling programs and conducting conformational searches is a plus.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills; highly organized and efficient record keeping.
• Experience collaborating with diverse teams and demonstrated ability to work independently and with minimal supervision.
