Role: Scientist III
Location: Abbott Park, IL - 60064-3500
Duration: 08+ Months
Shift Timings: 8 am to 5 pm
Job Description
• The goal of this position will be to help finalize a new procedure for synthesizing a chemical blue dye, which is a key component.
• The worker will need to help optimize multiple steps in the synthesis of the blue dye and work on a large scale reaction (+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
• 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.
Education Min. / Experience Min
• PhD
• 0-2 years’ experience in synthetic organic chemistry or medicinal chemistry; or BS/MS with equivalent work experience.
