Responsible for project completion.
brief synopsis- The goal of this position will be to help finalize a new procedure for synthesizing a chemical blue dye, which is a key component used in a major Client product The worker will need to help optimize multiple steps in the synthesis of the blue dye and work on a large scale reactions (+100 grams) The worker will need to use analytical chemistry techniques (NMR, HPLC, and UV-vis) to monitor the best outcome from those optimization experiments and strategies The worker will spend a lot of time developing and finalizing the chromatography (purification) techniques used in each step of the synthesis We are optimizing each step to improve yields and relative ease of synthesis Results will need to be reported on a regular basis to a team of chemists in Oslo, Norway and receive feedback from the team on the best path forward The worker will be working with a team of chemists in Lake County and will be expected to adhere to lab safety and other Client policies Once a finalized method has been selected, multiple lots will be synthesized to ensure reproducibility of the new procedures Characterization methods (HPLC) will need to be developed for the chemical products The final procedure will be carefully documented and then transferred to the Oslo manufacturing site.
Minimum Education:
- Ph.
D defined as ability to hypothesize, design own experiments, draw conclusions and provide direction.
Minimum Experience / Training:
- Basic Computer Skills Advanced knowledge of Organic chemistry and multiple analytical techniques/instruments.
- PhD 0-2 years' experience in synthetic organic chemistry or medicinal chemistry; or BS/MS with equivalent work experience
- Candidate must have experience and understanding of synthetic chemistry techniques and purification methodologies, e.g flash column chromatography, HPLC (reverse phase and normal phase) as well as analytical techniques (NMR, LC-MS, and UV-Vis).
- Experience with process chemistry, reaction optimization, and the ability to scaleup reactions from theoretical and practical evaluations a plus.
- Experience should include broad knowledge of modern organic chemistry and synthetic methods including multi-step synthesis as well as analytical techniques of small molecules.
