NOTE: This is an onsite role. Client follows all CDC recommendations for a safe workplace.

Pay Rate: $55/hr on W2 without benefits

Contract Length: 2 Years

Description:

As a chemist, you will perform NMR experiments, assign NMR spectra, use HPLC to isolate/purify small molecules and perform in-silico prediction calculations to enable structure elucidation of challenging molecules with a high level of accuracy.

You will actively contribute to the discovery, development and delivery of our Clients products to their patients and customers.

Clients global presence provides opportunity for all contractors to collaborate internationally, offering visibility and opportunity to directly contribute to the companies' success.

Duties:

• Prepare NMR samples and acquire 1D and 2D multinuclear NMR data.
• Assign chemical shifts and interpret NMR data to solve chemical structures.
• Utilize predictive tools to assist in structure elucidation of regioisomers, stereoisomers, tautomers, etc.
• Use HPLC to isolate / purify compounds for NMR analysis.
• Conduct searches of literature and internal databases to assist in structure elucidation.

• Plan and perform experiments providing quality data with minimal supervision.
• Remain current with relevant scientific literature and apply knowledge to the design, modification and implementation of experiments.
• Follow protocols, prepare clear technical reports and provide scientific interpretation of results with minimal guidance.

Requirements:

• Experience in the acquisition and interpretation of multinuclear NMR data is required.
• Familiarity with basic NMR instrument troubleshooting is a plus.
• Knowledge of structure elucidation using high-resolution NMR spectroscopy is required.
• Experience with HPLC isolation of compounds for structural evaluation.
• Basic knowledge of structural organic chemistry including inter-atomic distances, hydrogen bonding, torsion angle strain, hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions is desired.
• Knowledgeable in the routine use of chemical drawing programs.
• Experience with molecular modeling programs and conducting conformational searches is a plus.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills; highly organized and efficient record keeping.
• Experience collaborating with diverse teams and demonstrated ability to work independently and with minimal supervision.
