Senior Analytical Chemist

Sr. Analytical Scientist will be responsible for creating and managing a cGMP-compliant product testing program. This hands-on individual will conduct routine QC testing of high-purity mineral products, maintain documentation of experimental activities/results/instrument calibrations, and train/manage two direct reports.

Sr. Analytical Scientist Responsibilities:

• Support various core R&D activities and lead one or more innovation pipeline projects
• Plan and perform routine analytical product testing competently and independently. Schedule tasks for direct reports. Thoroughly document all QC activities and results.
• Maintain specialized lab equipment (e.g. XRF, XRD, ICP-MS, PSD, BET, DSC and, Rheometry) and calibrate at regular cadences.
• Conduct a full characterization of select minerals to support a range of innovation projects.
• Support, train and mentor less-experienced colleagues.

Sr. Analytical Scientist Requirements:

• Master’s degree minimum in Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science or related discipline required; PhD highly preferred
• 5 years of relevant industrial experience in a regulated (i.e. cGMP-compliant) analytical or QC Lab environment
• Self-directed and able to work both independently and as a team member
• Strong proficiency operating both XRF and ICP-MS equipment, and interpreting the results is required
• Experience with LIMS
• Experience leading a team and managing direct reports
• Working knowledge and experience with industrial minerals
• Experience with granular media filtration methods and performance characterization (e.g. permeability, wet density, conductivity)
