We currently have multiple openings for Sr. Laboratory Analyst positions within the Quality Control Laboratory analytical teams at Eli Lilly Kinsale. These positions are permanent roles based at the Kinsale site and are across multiple analytical groups supporting Peptides, Small Molecule and Large Molecule/Biotech manufacturing at the site.
As a member of the Quality Control Laboratory, the Sr. Laboratory Analyst is primarily responsible for conducting various analytical tests/assays to determine the identity, quality and purity of various pharmaceutical-related analytes including raw materials, intermediates, final products/batch release, stability samples, reference standard characterisation, investigative/non-routine samples etc., and/or validation of new methods to support new product introductions (NPIs). All work is conducted in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) requirements. Typical analytical techniques and equipment utilised as part of the role would include high performance liquid chromatography (including online HPLC/PATrols), gas chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, UV spectrophotometry, atomic absorption spectrometry, Inductively Coupled Plasma spectrometry, particle size analysers, Karl Fischer titrators, mass spectrometry (LCMS), and IR and NMR spectrometry.
The Sr. Laboratory Analyst will normally work under the technical supervision of an Analytical Chemist, who will provide technical oversight for the analytical testing. A subset of the Laboratory Analysts within the department will be working on a shift basis depending on production support needs.
