• Take responsibility for the maintenance of LC-MS systems within the group
• Develop analytical methods for new chemical modalities

Candidate Requirements:

• 
  An experienced graduate or post-doctoral scientist (BSc. / MSc. / PhD) in chemistry or biochemistry
• Previous industrial experience in the area of drug discovery (3+ years)
• High resolution mass spectrometry and chromatography experience (HPLC, uHPLC, LC-HRMS) of small molecules.
• An understanding of biotransformation pathways of NCEs
• Experience in general in vitro lab skills
• Be able to learn new laboratory skills quickly, demonstrate ability to follow protocols but also to design new experiments with excellent method development skills
• Autonomous, highly organised with excellent attention to detail
• Strong communication and a collaborative approach suited to a team working environment
