Job Overview:

As a Scientist I/II – LC-MS/MS Bioanalysis, you will develop, optimize, troubleshoot, and validate bioanalytical methods supporting DMPK and regulated studies. You'll work with advanced LC-MS/MS and high-resolution mass spectrometry platforms while gaining exposure to a broad range of therapeutic modalities-from traditional small molecules to peptides, oligonucleotides, PROTACs, biologics, and emerging therapies.

This opportunity is ideal for an early-career bioanalytical scientist who wants to expand beyond routine sample analysis and develop deeper expertise in method development, complex bioanalysis, scientific problem-solving, and study execution within a global CRO/CDMO environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, optimize, troubleshoot, and validate LC-MS/MS bioanalytical methods supporting drug discovery and development programs.
• Perform bioanalytical sample analysis for DMPK, method development, validation, and regulated studies.
• Operate LC-MS/MS and HPLC platforms and gain exposure to advanced mass spectrometry technologies.
• Design and execute scientifically sound experiments aligned with client objectives, study requirements, and internal quality standards.
• Process, analyze, interpret, and report bioanalytical data while identifying and resolving technical challenges.
• Review and execute study protocols and ensure accurate documentation of experimental procedures, results, and conclusions.
• Author and contribute to protocols, validation reports, technical summaries, study reports, and other scientific documentation.
• Support GLP and regulated bioanalytical activities in accordance with applicable procedures and quality requirements.
• Collaborate with scientists, project teams, management, Business Development, and clients to support successful project execution.
• Participate in scientific project reviews, technical discussions, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• As experience develops, take on increasing scientific ownership and opportunities to support studies in a Principal Investigator and/or Study Director capacity, as appropriate.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biochemistry, Life Sciences, or a related scientific discipline.
• 1–3+ years of relevant bioanalytical laboratory experience; position level will be determined based on experience and demonstrated technical capabilities.
• Hands-on experience with LC-MS/MS bioanalysis, including exposure to method development, optimization, validation, and/or sample analysis.
• Understanding of chromatographic and mass spectrometric principles.
• Strong analytical thinking and ability to troubleshoot scientific and technical challenges.
• Ability to accurately analyze, interpret, document, and communicate scientific data.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative scientific environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing and validating LC-MS/MS bioanalytical methods.
• Experience working within a GLP or regulated bioanalytical environment.
• Experience with SCIEX Triple Quad platforms, including 6500+ and/or 7600 systems, or comparable LC-MS/MS instrumentation.
• Experience with high-resolution mass spectrometry platforms.
• Experience supporting DMPK and regulated bioanalytical studies.
• Experience analyzing complex modalities such as peptides, oligonucleotides, PROTACs, biologics, or other emerging therapeutic modalities.
• Experience with HPLC and other analytical detection platforms.
