Responsibilities

Your role will involve the use of fundamentals principles (i.e., transport phenomena, reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, etc.) along with the application of data science techniques to address various challenging problems. These problems may span modeling of synthetic chemical processes and bioprocesses (i.e., drug substance, drug product).
Your responsibilities will include applying pre-existing models, identifying opportunities for enhancing accuracy and performance, and advancing the creation of data assets from these models for use across the organization.
Collaboration with internal stakeholders will be a key aspect of this role. You will document and communicate the technical basis of these in silico models and data assets for the benefit of engineers and scientists involved in delivering processes to Operations.
Experience with programming in Python, MATLAB, or R is required. Familiarity with mathematical modeling, machine learning, or biopharmaceuticals is highly desired.
