Dundee ¦ Full-time ¦ Permanent

Join a Growing Analytical Function

We are seeking a highly skilled Analytical Chemist with strong, hands-on expertise in mass spectrometry, particularly triple quadrupole systems, to join our expanding laboratory.

While experience in GMP is advantageous, our priority is to recruit an individual with deep technical capability in LC-MS/MS and/or GC-MS/MS, a proven ability to generate high-quality analytical data, and the motivation to develop GMP proficiency in a regulated environment.

The Role

You will play a key role in developing and advancing our analytical capability, with a strong focus on complex method development using advanced mass spectrometry. Working with challenging matrices such as lipid-based formulations and botanical extracts, your responsibilities will include:

Method development, optimisation, and troubleshooting using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS and a range of other analytical instrumentation
Working with complex sample types including lipids, oils, and botanical materials
Supporting and contributing to method validation activities (ICH guidelines and GMP)
Maintaining high standards of analytical quality, robustness, and data integrity

You will also:

Act as a technical specialist in mass spectrometry within the lab
Troubleshoot analytical and instrumental challenges
Support the development of laboratory processes and best practices
Build knowledge and capability in GMP requirements and systems over time

This is a hands-on, technically focused role with real scope to influence and strengthen our analytical capability.

What We’re Looking For

Degree (BSc/MSc/PhD) in Analytical Chemistry or a related discipline
Extensive hands-on experience with LC-MS/MS and/or GC-MS/MS - essential
Strong track record of method development, optimisation, and problem-solving
Clear understanding of producing high-quality, reliable analytical data
Experience working with complex matrices (e.g. lipids, oils, botanical extracts)
Comfortable working to high analytical and scientific standards
Willingness and ability to develop GMP knowledge and practices

Desirable:

Experience within a GMP or regulated environment
Familiarity with ICP-MS or other complementary techniques
Understanding of data integrity principles (e.g. ALCOA+)

Why Join Us?

Apply and deepen your expertise in advanced mass spectrometry
Opportunity to develop GMP experience in a supportive setting
Work at the forefront of a growing pharmaceutical sector
Join a well-established collaborative, technically driven team

If you are a mass spectrometry specialist looking for your next technical challenge, we’d love to hear from you.

Please see attached a full copy of the job description and person specification.
