formulation scientist

Essential requirements:

• MSc degree in a scientific discipline relevant to analytical and formulation science (e.g., chemistry, pharmaceutical technology, or equivalent qualifications).
• Basic understanding of liquid formulations and basic knowledge of analytical methodologies such as spectrometry and separation science (U/HPLC).
• Genuine interest in experimental work and hands-on problem solving.
• Delivery focused with the ability to utilize scientific and innovative thinking.
• Great communication skills in English, both orally and in writing.

Desirable skills/experience:

• Technical competence in the field of drug product formulation development for oral and/or parenteral delivery.
• Experience in working with formulation development or similar product development, or other laboratory skills of relevance.
• Good understanding of suitable quality standards and regulatory frameworks

This is a lab-based role where you will support several drug project teams and provide your technical and scientific expertise into formulation development. You will develop and deliver different formulation systems for oral, inhaled and parenteral use, with a focus on liquid formulations. You will also perform essential characterization work e.g. content, stability, homogeneity, impurity, pH, and particle size measurements, supporting projects in the discovery and preclinical development phase. The role requires a close collaboration with other internal functions to further build our capabilities within advanced drug delivery.

You are expected to perform lab-based experimental work in accordance to project timelines, appropriate Safety, Health & Environment (SHE), quality and compliance standards, and in close collaboration with other formulators and analysts, as well as other skill experts (solid state and biopharmaceutical experts). The work should be documented carefully and to the right quality and standard, and clearly communicated to your project team.

If your passion is science and you want to be part of a team that makes a bigger impact on patients’ lives, then there’s no better place to be. Join us at AstraZeneca, where we truly understand science and apply it every day to strengthen and grow our pipeline.
