The Role:
This role is an exciting opportunity to be a critical part of a team enabling respiratory delivery of mRNA at an organization that is radically changing the biotech industry. Moderna is seeking a highly motivated scientist to support characterization of mRNA for respiratory delivery in a highly interdisciplinary and dynamic environment. The successful candidate will be a key member of the teams developing mRNA therapies using pulmonary and nasal routes of delivery. The candidate must have strong experience in analytical method development and characterization of respiratory products to support inhalation drug product development. Experience with nucleic acid therapeutics, nanotechnologies, drug delivery and general pharmaceutical product development would be highly desirable.
Here’s What You’ll Do:
- Design, coordinate, execute and analyze aerosol testing experiments of novel formulations in multiple types of OINDP devices
- Develop aerosol analytical methods (aerodynamic particle size distribution, delivered dose etc.) to support evaluation of novel formulations and inhalation devices
- Support and justify the choice of the analytical methods and provide input into the specification for regulatory submissions
- Communicate research and development findings internally and externally
- Work as part of an integrated cross-functional team developing novel formulation and delivery solutions
- Support characterization of formulation and devices as required
- Participate in group and project team meetings and present data to various audiences
Here’s What You’ll Bring to the Table:
- MS with 5-8 years of industry experience in analytical development, chemistry, drug delivery, chemical engineering, nanotechnology
- Preference will be given to candidates with inhalation background
- In-depth knowledge of aerosol science and analytical method development (including HPLC) from industry for OINDP; experience with colloidal dosage forms preferred
- Strong data analysis and experimental design skills, experience with JMP a plus
- Knowledge of GMP and GLP regulations
- Must be curious, eager, open to learning, and independent
- Flexible, self-motivated team player with a strong work ethic
