Join a rare disease-focused team within AstraZeneca where your analytical expertise directly safeguards product quality, accelerates batch release, and strengthens our pipeline. Based in our College Park labs, you will collaborate across manufacturing, development, quality, and regulatory functions to design, validate, and transfer robust analytical methods. From day one, your work will underpin decisive investigations, confident decision-making, and a culture of scientific rigor and data integrity. How will you leverage your bio-analytical experience to elevate method performance and deliver results that matter? ### Accountabilities Analytical Method Development and Optimization: Develop and refine analytical methods for biologics to improve specificity, sensitivity, and throughput, enabling reliable product characterization and release. ### Method Qualification, Validation, and Transfer Lead and support method qualification, validation/co-validation, and transfer between laboratories and sites, aligning with cGMP/GLP and regulatory expectations. ### Method Capability and Data Trending Perform capability analyses and trend data to establish control strategies, detect drift, and drive continuous improvement in method performance. ### Study Design and Execution Create protocols, execute studies in the laboratory, analyze data, and produce clear, defensible reports and technical assessments that inform program decisions. ### Analytical Investigations and Troubleshooting Provide hands-on testing and root-cause analysis to resolve manufacturing and method issues, supporting deviations, CAPAs, and change controls. ### Manufacturing Support Deliver targeted analytical testing to de-risk processes, remove bottlenecks, and support robust process control across the manufacturing network. ### Laboratory Operations and Readiness Manage consumables and reagents, maintain equipment, and perform daily operational activities to keep the lab inspection-ready and safe. ### Compliance and EHS Uphold site EHS policy, cGMP/GLP, and business processes; champion data integrity and scientific rigor to ensure compliant, audit-ready outcomes. ### Flexibility and Responsiveness Support ongoing lab studies that may require periodic out-of-hours work or weekend rota participation to maintain program momentum and timelines. ### Essential Skills/Experience Minimum Bachelor’s Degree in biochemistry, chemistry, microbiology or a relevant scientific discipline. Demonstrated experience in (bio)pharmaceutical manufacturing or development. Previous experience and technical knowledge of analytical methodologies on biologicals in either research or biopharmaceutical manufacturing roles in Technical, R&D, or Process Development/Optimisation. Previous hands-on experience of Bio-analytical techniques and methodologies for biologicals. Proven knowledge of cGMP/GLP requirements and implementation of standard methodologies to ensure technical excellence. This is an on-site role, the duties of which are generally conducted in a lab environment. As is typical of a lab-based role, employees must, with or without an accommodation, be capable to: lift/carry items in accordance with manual handling principles; work comfortably in a controlled environment with and around biological, infectious, and hazardous materials; gown/degown PPE; use a computer; engage in communications via phone, video, and electronic messaging; engage in problem solving and non-linear thought, analysis, and dialogue; collaborate with others; maintain general availability during standard business hours. ### Desirable Skills/Experience Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in a relevant scientific discipline. Hands-on experience with biologics analytical techniques such as HPLC/UPLC, CE-SDS, icIEF/cIEF, ELISA, qPCR, LC-MS, peptide mapping, and potency assays. Demonstrated expertise in method lifecycle management, including authoring and executing protocols/reports for qualification, validation, co-validation, and transfer across internal and external sites. Familiarity with ICH guidelines and current expectations for method validation and analytical control strategies. Proficiency with statistical analysis and experimental design tools (e.g., JMP, Minitab) for capability assessment, trending, and robustness studies. Experience with LIMS/ELN systems and strong understanding of ALCOA+ data integrity principles. Proven contribution to inspections/audits and remediation activities, with a track record of sustaining inspection readiness. Experience supporting process characterization, comparability, and stability programs for biologics. ### Why AstraZeneca Here, cutting-edge science meets real-world impact for people living with rare and devastating diseases. You will join a collaborative environment where diverse expertise comes together in the same room to spark bold ideas, backed by the scale and resources of a global company and the agility of a biotech mindset. We unite around patients, pairing scientific rigor with empathy, and we value kindness alongside ambition so you can push boundaries while being supported to grow. Your contribution will be visible and meaningful—shaping analytics that enable safe, effective therapies to reach those with the greatest unmet need. ### Call to Action Step into this role to shape the analytical science that powers breakthrough medicines—bring your expertise and help create what patients need next.
