Scientist IV – Analytical Chemistry and Chemometrician. Digital & Innovation
Location: Rockville, MD
Full‑time, 3‑year fixed‑term research position in USP’s Product Quality and Analytical Methods group, Division of Digital and Innovation.
Brief Job Overview This non‑supervisory role will lead research investigating applications of chemometric modeling for analytical chemistry platforms with a focus on chromatography, specifically HPLC. The candidate will conduct hands‑on laboratory research and computational data modeling in collaboration with laboratory and data scientists.
How you will create impact here at USP As part of our mission to advance scientific rigor and public health standards, you will play a vital role in increasing global access to high‑quality medicines through public standards and related programs. USP prioritizes scientific integrity, regulatory excellence, and evidence‑based decision‑making to ensure health systems worldwide can rely on strong, tested, and globally relevant quality standards.
Responsibilities
Analytical Laboratory work
Skilled in analytical chemistry, especially chromatography, HPLC.
Work independently with respect to the development and evaluation of chromatographic (i.e., HPLC) methods, procedures and data acquisition.
Independently design and execute experiments, provide input on/draw conclusions, and clearly communicate the results with the project team.
Routinely apply personal experience, academic training, and insights to address technical problems.
Collaborate in a team setting to achieve goals.
Experience in the collection and curation of scientific data suitable for data modeling.
Data Modeling
Develop and apply chemometric, multivariate models to interpret scientific/analytical/chemical data.
Skilled in at least one programming language with the ability to create prototypes and rapidly test ideas.
Training, Cross‑Collaboration, and Continuous Learning
Demonstrate a strong desire to continue learning and proactively seek opportunities to grow personal capabilities.
Participate and/or present at internal and external scientific/project meetings as appropriate.
Collaborate, mentor and train staff in processes, techniques, and use of data modeling tools.
Recommend and implement creative approaches or processes to reach project goals.
Qualifications
Ph. D. degree in a scientific field with a minimum of 3 years of experience.
Masters degree in a scientific field with seven (7) years of confirmed experience, or
Bachelors degree in a scientific field with five (10) years of confirmed experience.
Knowledge, understanding, and hands‑on experience with separation analyses such as liquid chromatography (HPLC, UPLC), as well as other general chemistry principles and techniques.
Experience in common laboratory software such as Empower, OpenLab, and Chromeleon.
Skilled in anticipating, troubleshooting and solving technical problems.
In limited circumstances, an equivalent combination of training or special scientific accomplishments is acceptable in lieu of the years of relevant experience.
Machine learning skills in developing and implementing appropriate chemometric models, validation, interpreting model output.
Data visualization and modeling skills (e.g., matplotlib, seaborn) to effectively communicate complex data insights.
Additional Desired Preferences
Knowledge and hands‑on experience of small molecule/biologic/natural product analysis by using complementary analytical techniques (IR, UV‑Vis, NMR, MS).
Experience working in a fast‑paced environment with multi‑layered priorities.
Flexible and concurrent management of multiple tasks.
Experience working in the pharmaceutical, chemical and/or biotechnology industry.
Experience working in GLP or ISO‑17025 regulated laboratories is a plus.
Experience working with Electronic Laboratory Notebook Software is a plus.
Ability to synthesize and structure data from multiple sources into appropriate machine‑readable formats.
Experience in developing and using multivariate analysis approaches to data modeling.
Excellent communication skills (written and oral), ability to explain technical or complex issues to non‑technical audience.
Experience in descriptive and inferential statistics.
Experience in Python, SQL and/or other appropriate programming languages.
Supervisory Responsibilities None, this is an individual contributor role.
Benefits USP provides benefits to protect you and your family today and tomorrow. From company‑paid time off and comprehensive healthcare options to retirement savings, you can have peace of mind that your personal and financial well‑being is protected.
Compensation Base Salary Range: USD $100,325.00 – $126,575.00 annually.
Target Annual Bonus: Variable based on level of role.
Individual compensation packages are based on various factors unique to each candidate’s skill set, experience, qualifications, equity, and other job‑related reasons.
Note: USP does not accept unsolicited resumes from 3rd‑party recruitment agencies and is not responsible for fees from recruiters or other agencies except under a specific written agreement with USP.
Equal Opportunity Employer/Protected Veterans/Individuals with Disabilities USP is proud to be an equal employment opportunity employer (EEO‑E) and is committed to ensuring fair, merit‑based selection processes that enable the best scientific minds—regardless of background—to contribute to advancing public health solutions worldwide. We provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities.
