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
