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.
