*

Advanced technical skills in solid state characterization of drug substance/intermediates/final product functionality (X-ray diffraction techniques, vibrational and NMR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, microscopic techniques, moisture sorption analysis etc., )
*

Knowledge of computational chemistry and solid state physics (e.g. softwares such as Materials studio, CCDC, VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, GROMACS )
*

Scientific leadership evidenced by a publication track record
*

Excellent interpersonal skills and strong ability to engage and collaborate across boundaries with a problem-solving attitude and focus on delivery


Desirable for the role

*

Experience of development and validation of analytical methods
