Location/Division Specific Information
Rockford, IL | Protein and Cell Analysis
How will you make an impact?
This Scientist III will play a critical role in the development of new reagents and targeted assays for small molecules using liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS). This role requires strong technical skills in chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis for quantification including selective reaction monitoring (SRM). This scientist will work in a highly collaborative environment that integrates reagents, instruments, and software to develop robust quantitative assays. The individual will work closely with the Mass Spectrometry Reagents R&D groups in the Life Sciences Research (LSR) and cross-division departments.
What will you do?
- Designs and formulates isotopically labeled small molecule standard mixtures, optimizes targeted MS assays, streamlines data analysis, and determines product stability and manufacturability
- Designs, plans and conducts laboratory experiments independently in support of new product development
- Serves as Technical Leader on R&D projects of increasing complexity and number
- Effectively communicates results to project team members, senior leadership and internal stakeholders
- Drafts documents for production, testing, validation and use of products
- Assist with manufacturing, analytical validation efforts and risk mitigation plans
- Contributes well-considered ideas for new products and improvements to procedures
- Maintains in-depth knowledge of relevant fields, equipment and techniques
