Job Description
- The goal of this position will be to help finalize a new procedure for synthesizing a chemical blue dye, which is a key component.
- The worker will need to help optimize multiple steps in the synthesis of the blue dye and work on a large scale reaction (+100 grams).
- The worker will need to use analytical chemistry techniques (NMR, HPLC, and UV-vis) to monitor the best outcome from those optimization experiments and strategies.
- The worker will spend a lot of time developing and finalizing the chromatography (purification) techniques used in each step of the synthesis.
- We are optimizing each step to improve yields and relative ease of synthesis.
- Results will need to be reported on a regular basis to a team of chemists in Oslo, Norway and receive feedback from the team on the best path forward.
- The worker will be working with a team of chemists in Lake County and will be expected to adhere to lab safety
- Once a finalized method has been selected, multiple lots will be synthesized to ensure reproducibility of the new procedures.
- Characterization methods (HPLC) will need to be developed for the chemical products.
- The final procedure will be carefully documented and then transferred to the Oslo manufacturing site.
- PhD
- 0-2 years’ experience in synthetic organic chemistry or medicinal chemistry; or BS/MS with equivalent work experience.
- Synthetic organic chemistry
- Process chemistry and reaction scale-up (+100g)
- Flash chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and thin-layer chromatography (TLC)
- Analytical techniques and method development – NMR, HPLC, mass spec, UV-vis
- Lab safety What skills will complement the role- Synthetic organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and chemical reaction strategy/design.
