"Research Investigator Sr."

Job Description Summary

Design and execute experiments to elucidate the molecular structures of novel chemical entities (NCEs) and their radiolabeled counterparts.

Develop and optimize radiochemical methods for the radiolabeling of NCEs with various radioisotopes, including but not limited to F-18, Ga-68, Tc-99m, I-125, Lu-177, and Ac-225.

Optimize radiochemical yields through systematic experimentation and method refinement.

Establish and validate analytical quality control methods using techniques such as HPLC, TLC, and LC-MS for the characterization and assay of radiolabeled compounds and their precursors.

Conduct hands-on radiolabeling experiments in compliance with safety and regulatory standards.

Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams including synthetic chemists, pharmacologists, and imaging scientists to support research and development efforts.

Maintain detailed records of experimental procedures, data analysis, and results in laboratory notebooks and databases.
