This role will provide YOU the opportunity to lead key activities to progress YOUR career. These responsibilities include some of the following:

• Plan, design, and execute experiments using mass spectrometry (both LC-MS and GC-MS qualitative) to further the course of discovery and development projects
• Ensure appropriate use of mass spectrometry to define control strategies for New Chemical Entities (NCEs)
• Explore and implement innovative research areas and/or apply innovative solutions to project problems
• Demonstrate a high level of problem-solving capability and ability to identify and troubleshoot technical or resource issues
• Appropriate knowledge of regulatory requirements as applied to the drug development process
• Contribute to and effectively work within matrix teams comprised of colleagues both within and across departments 
• Operational knowledge of laboratory/plant equipment
• Contribute to regulatory dossiers and author/review reports
• Comply with the requirements of quality, safety, and GSK policies and procedures and ensure that GSK intellectual property is protected
• Self-motivated flexible approach with good organizational skills and ability to communicate in a scientific manner
• Working knowledge of GxP requirements, SOPs, and policies

Why you?

Basic Qualifications:

• PhD in analytical chemistry or related science/chemistry field(mass spectrometry related discipline) and 2+ years industry experience
• MS in chemistry or related science/chemistry field and 5+ years industry experience
• Experience in structural identification of small molecules using mass spectrometry

Preferred Qualifications:

If you have the following characteristics, it would be a plus:

• Experience working in organic chemistry
• Advanced knowledge of high-resolution MS instrumentation and ionization modalities (e.g. QTOF, Orbitrap, MALDI, APCI, ESI, etc.)
• Proven track record of innovation in the field of mass spectrometry supported by publications and presentations at international conferences
• Proven track record of development of novel LC-MS and/or GC-MS methodology
• Experience identifying metabolites/impurities/degradants using mass spectrometric techniques to provide key information for projects at all stages of pharmaceutical development (from early phase development to marketed product support)
• Experience in analysis of biomolecules by mass spectrometry
• Experience in developing quantitative methods using mass spectrometric techniques
• Experience in troubleshooting MS instruments/methods
• Experience in regulated GxP laboratory
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Knowledge of spectroscopic techniques other than mass spectrometry (e.g. NMR, FTIR, Raman, XRPD, etc.)
