Research Scientist

Roles & Responsibility-

• Analytical Method Development: Highly skilled in designing, optimizing, and implementing analytical methods (both for technical actives / APIs and formulations), using HPLC / UPLC, GC (including headspace), LC‑MS / LC‑MS‑MS or equivalent.
• Method Validation: Deep experience with validation protocols in compliance with regulatory standards (ICH, SANCO / SANTE, OECD GLP or equivalent), including parameters like specificity, accuracy, precision, LOD/LOQ, linearity, range, robustness, stability.
• Wet Lab & Physical‑Chemical Testing: Strong competence in sample preparation, moisture content determination, physical property evaluation, chemical assays of formulations and technical materials, IPQC support.
• Troubleshooting & Non‑Routine Testing: Able to identify, diagnose and correct issues in analytical measurements, instrument performance, method interference, reproducibility, sensitivity issues etc.
• Regulatory & Quality Compliance: Familiar with regulatory guidelines; experience in maintaining compliance with GLP (if applicable), safety standards, documentation, calibration and maintenance of instruments, controlled environment of lab operations.
• Documentation & Reporting: Able to generate, review and approve validation protocols, SOPs, technical and validation reports; ensure data integrity, method transfer documentation; maintain good laboratory practices in record keeping.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Capability to work with R&D formulation, regulatory, QA/QC, project management, ensure analytical support is aligned to product development and registration timelines.

Experience & Background

• Requires 7–10 years of demonstrated expertise in analytical R&D or development of analytical methods in the agrochemical industry.
• Prior work should be in one or more of these domains: agrochemical technical substances, agrochemical formulations.
• Must have been leading or managing a team of 4‑8 analysts or scientists continuously for the past 2‑3 years , including supervision, mentoring, allocation of tasks, and performance evaluation.
• Experience in regulatory / quality driven environments where analytical methods are developed, validated and used for regulatory filings.

Educational Qualification

• Essential: Master of Science (M.Sc) in Organic Chemistry or Analytical Chemistry .
• Preferred: Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Organic Chemistry or Analytical Chemistry.
• The educational background should demonstrate strong foundation in chemical theory, separation science, and instrumental analysis.
