Team Lead – Analytical Chemistry & Formulations
Eurofins is seeking a highly motivated and experienced scientist to serve as a Team Lead in Analytical Chemistry & Formulations within our RNA-LNP Formulations group. In this role, you will combine hands-on laboratory expertise in analytical chemistry with leadership responsibilities, supporting a team of scientists working on lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and RNA-based formulations. You will play a key role in driving experimental execution, ensuring high-quality analytical output, and fostering a collaborative, high-performance team environment.
Key responsibilities include performing and supporting analytical testing of RNA-lipid nanoparticles using techniques such as HPLC, Solo-VPE, MFI, AKTA, DLS, HIAC, and viscosity measurements. You will assist with formulation and characterization of RNA-LNP systems, proteins, and buffer preparations as needed. Executing experiments in accordance with established protocols, SOPs, and GLP standards, and maintaining accurate, timely documentation using electronic lab notebooks are essential aspects of this role. Additionally, you will support laboratory organization, safety compliance, and operational readiness.
The ideal candidate will have a B.S. in Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, or a related field with 3–4 years of relevant experience, or an M.S. with 1–2 years of relevant experience. Hands-on experience in RNA-LNP, siRNA, mRNA, or related genetic modalities is required, along with strong proficiency in chromatography and separation techniques, including HPLC. Experience in analytical or formulation development within a laboratory setting, demonstrated leadership or mentoring experience in a scientific environment, and strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills are also necessary. The ability to design experiments, interpret data, and maintain high-quality documentation, as well as comfort working independently and within a matrixed team environment, are important qualifications.
Eurofins offers excellent full-time benefits, including comprehensive medical coverage, dental, and vision options, life and disability insurance, a 401(k) with company match, paid vacation and holidays, and a yearly goal-based bonus with eligibility for merit-based increases.
