LOCATION: Brampton, Ontario,Canada
DEPARTMENT: R&D
JOB DESCRIPTION:
GENERAL SUMMARY
The main responsibility of this position is to provide analytical support
for the product development chemists as well as to participate in method
development and validation. Duties include validation of new analytical
methods under the guidance of a Senior Chemist (or Senior Scientist),
preparation of reports, complete analytical testing of R&D batches, raw
materials and packaging components in accordance with GMP/GLP regulations.
Work is completed in a timely manner, to ensure meeting departmental and
corporate goals.
- release and stability testing of R&D products and raw materials, with main
focus on HPLC techniques
- report and document all analyses in accordance with current GMP/GLP
regulations
- validate and document new methods of analysis
- prepare validation reports
- participate in activities leading to product approval under the guidance
of a Senior Chemist/Senior Scientist (i.e. deficiency letter responses for
chemistry issues, investigations, etc.)
QUALIFICATIONS:
- perform other required chemical and physical testing of R&D batches (e.g.
pH, viscosity, UV/IR identification)
- perform complete chemical and physical testing of new materials for R&D
use
- develop, validate and perform In Vitro dissolution methods as required
- maintain and calibrate R&D instrumentation (e.g. HPLC, pH meter,
viscometer, thermometers, scales) and maintain log books
- prepare and submit monthly reports regarding activities and results
- sound knowledge of chemistry, with main focus on analytical, organic and
physical chemistry
- familiarity with modern computer assisted analytical instrumentation
methods and with older techniques (i.e. titration)
- sound theoretical and practical knowledge of chromatography and
spectrography
- familiarity with GMP-s and GLP-s, as well as with pertinent FDA and TPP
guidelines
- ability to communicate and work effectively in a team-based environment
- knowledge of applicable software
- good organizational skills
- multi-tasking ability
- excellent written and verbal communication skills
- B. Sc. or C.C. in Chemistry or a in pharmaceutical-related field with
minimum three years of work experience in R&D or R&D and Q.C. environment
- Ph.D. or M. Sc. in Chemistry or a in pharmaceutical-related field
PROBLEM SOLVING
- Regular problem solving with significant degree of judgment coupled with
excellent logical skills required. Problems typically include chemistry
related issues (i.e. understanding the chemistry/degradation of the active)
instrumentation related problems (understanding symptoms of HPLC problem and
eliminating/repairing them) and out-of-spec investigations.
WORKING CONDITIONS
- Generally, fairly pleasant surroundings. Occasional exposure to higher
than normal noise levels. Frequent, daily exposure to various chemicals used
in the testing of raw materials, components and finished products.
Occasional exposure to unpleasant odors resulting from testing procedures.
Fairly level temperatures. Mixture of standing and walking, some light
lifting and/or movement of material/instruments.

I had seven years experiences on carbon materials, especially on porous
carbon materials.
My activities on porous carbon mainly concentrated on three topics including
preparation and pore structure control of porous carbon, characterization of
porous solids and applications of porous carbon.
In the first topic, many methods were used to control the pore structure
of porous carbon including addition of metal compounds, polymer-blending
method, supercritical water activation, steam/H2 activation et al. Activated
carbon spheres with different kinds of pore size distribution have been
prepared. They have been used in hemoperfusion and have the potential for
use in chromatograph.
For the second topic, A Varity of techniques were used to characterize the
pore structure, surface functional groups and their formatting process.
These techniques include XRD, SAXS, XPS, TPD, TG, FTIR, HRTEM, AFM,
M?ssbauer spectroscopy, mercury porosity and N2 adsorption method. Many
equations were used to analysis the N2 adsorption isotherm.
As to the third topic, applications of porous carbon are concentrated
mainly on three areas. The first one is porous carbon served as adsorbent in
blood purification. The second one is porous carbon loaded with TiO2 for
adsorption, photocatalytic decomposition of volatile organic compounds in
indoor air quality. The third one is porous carbon for use in
chemical-protection clothing. Also specially designed porous carbon use in
water purification is under preparation.
By the reason of the ardently love to porous carbon, I want to expend my
knowledge and experience on porous materials. I want to find a postdoctoral
position about porous materials research.
