R&D job vacancy at Mohali in 3K Continuum Private Limited

We are looking for a talented and driven R&D Chemist to join our team. The successful
candidate will be responsible for developing and optimizing chemical processes for
synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This role requires a strong background in synthetic organic chemistry, process development, and scale-up techniques. The R&D Chemist will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the smooth transition of processes from the lab to full-scale production.

Key Responsibilities:
Process Development:
• Conduct research and design experiments to develop and optimize synthetic
routes for API molecules.
• Perform literature searches for identified API molecules to determine synthesis
routes, polymorphs, and analytical methods.
• Conduct experimental trials to assess feasibility and optimize designed
synthetic routes for API molecules.
Documentation:
• Record all experiments in the laboratory notebook (LNB) and maintain
corresponding analytical data in organized folders.
• Design synthetic routes for the synthesis and isolation of impurities and
reference standards.
• Ensure all documentation meets Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and
regulatory standards.
Safety and Compliance:
• Adhere to all safety protocols and ensure a safe working environment in the
laboratory.
• Develop non-infringing synthetic processes based on literature, raw material
availability, and polymorph studies.
• Stay up-to-date with industry trends, regulatory guidelines, and advancements
in chemical synthesis and analytical techniques.
Team Collaboration:
• Plan daily activities for team members, focusing on feasibility studies, process
optimization, and laboratory validation.
• Work closely with the Analytical Research and Development (ARD) team on
method development, in-process testing, and reference standards qualification.
Qualifications:
• Education: MSc/BSc in Organic Chemistry,
• Experience: Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in process development and
optimization in the pharmaceutical or bulk drug industry.
• Skills:
o Strong knowledge of synthetic organic chemistry and process chemistry.
o Proficiency in using and interpreting data from analytical instruments.
o Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
o EZective communication and teamwork skills.
o Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects
simultaneously
