BMS is seeking a scientist to join the Sterile Product & Device Development team, within the Drug Product Development (DPD) organization, located in New Brunswick, NJ. DPD is responsible for the product and process design, development, characterization, and technology transfer to enable development of Bristol Myers Squibb’s drug candidates from the preclinical stage to commercial process readiness. We are seeking a collaborative, self-motivated, and results-oriented scientist/engineer with a passion for problem solving to extend and enhance patient lives.

The successful candidate excels in a collaborative, cross-functional, matrix team environment to enable the development of new parenteral drug products, including biologics, small molecule parenteral products, and emerging modalities such as, but not limited to, antibody-drug conjugates, long acting injectables, gene therapy, oligonucleotides, nucleic acids and nanoparticulate delivery. The scientist will conduct studies on new drug candidates to define physical and chemical properties using a wide variety of analytical characterization tools, as well as develop patient centric parenteral dosage forms and their manufacturing processes to enable clinical and commercial use.

• Facilitate problem solving using scientific, engineering, analytical techniques to support drug product development as a member of a multidisciplinary project team.
• Enthusiastically work at the bench to solve challenging pharmaceutical development challenges applying his/her scientific or engineering expertise.
• Conduct experiments on new drug candidates and formulations to define biophysical/physical and chemical properties using various analytical characterization tools.
• Develop dosage forms for clinical and commercial use throughout various stages of development.
• Generate data and knowledge for regulatory filings through planning and execution of experimental plans with minimal supervision, within project timelines.
• Integrate and interpret research data and present conclusions as appropriate at various project meetings.
• Conduct process development, optimization and scale-up studies; bring this knowledge to project teams to enable successful drug product technology transfer to clinical manufacturing and commercial sites.
• Issue periodic reports and ensure compliance to safety rules and regulations, experimental best practices, electronic laboratory notebook, and other expectations and trainings based on corporate and regulatory guidelines.
• Participate in appropriate portfolio and strategy…
