External ID # 36318779
Ridgefield, CT- ONSITE
12 month W2 contract (with potential to extend or transition to perm)
Pay rate: $48-52/hr - Depending on Education and Experience

Summary:
Solid State NMR Spectroscopist  – The Material and Analytical Sciences team is currently seeking a talented structural chemist skilled in Solid State NMR spectroscopy to work in our Material and Analytical Sciences (MAS) department.  You will expand your scientific skills, gain experience using state of the art equipment and gain insight on the drug development process.

Responsibilities:

• Apply skill in solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy to acquire and interpret (1D and 2D 1H, 19F, 13C, 15N, etc.) data for molecular structure elucidation.
• Apply ssNMR to characterize pharmaceutical materials such as particles, powders, and suspensions and to guide robust drug substance and drug product development.
• Use NMR expertise to evaluate and characterize a broad range of materials, including crystalline and non-crystalline small molecule APIs, biologics, excipients, drug product intermediates, and drug products.
• Apply quantitative ssNMR methods to measure components of APIs and drug products.
• Use molecular modeling and predictive tools with technologies such as solution/solid state NMR and X-ray crystallography to enable 3D structural evaluation at the atomic and molecular level.
• Plan and perform experiments with minimal supervision to provide investigative support of structural predictions.

Skills or Requirements:

• Experience with solid-state NMR sample preparation, data acquisition and interpretation of multinuclear NMR data is required.
• Experience with implementing and trouble-shooting ssNMR experiments.
• Experience changing Bruker ssNMR probes is required.
• Basic understanding of molecular structure, inter-atomic distances, hydrogen bonding, torsion angle strain, hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions.
• Experience in the application and interpretation of ssNMR to study biological systems is a plus.
• Understands the conceptual basis behind modern computational methods such as qm-DFT, Monte Carlo methods, etc.
• Knowledgeable in the routine use of molecular modeling software (example: Gaussian, Schrodinger, Materials Studio suite, CCDC software )
• Familiar with use of HPC clusters, Linux environment and associated job submission programs.
• Background in use of solution NMR for structure elucidation is desired.

Education:

• Master's Degree in Organic Chemistry or equivalent with 1-3 yrs. experience in the application of ssNMR Spectroscopy to structurally characterize pharmaceutically relevant small molecules.
