R&D Pharma Chemist – Fresher JD

Job Title: R&D Chemist – R&D
Department: Research & Development
Experience: Fresher / 0–1 year
Qualification: M.Sc. Chemistry / Organic Chemistry / Analytical Chemistry
Location: Nakkapalli
Employment: Full-time

Key Responsibilities

• Assist senior scientists in executing laboratory experiments and chemical reactions.
• Perform organic synthesis, reaction monitoring, work-up and purification under supervision.
• Prepare samples, reagents, standards and solutions according to SOPs.
• Support process development, optimization and scale-up activities.
• Operate basic laboratory equipment and analytical instruments such as HPLC, GC, UV-Vis, FTIR and pH meter, depending on the role.
• Assist in interpretation of analytical results and experimental data.
• Maintain laboratory notebooks, raw data, sample records and other R&D documentation.
• Follow GLP, GMP/cGMP, SOPs and laboratory safety procedures.
• Ensure proper handling, storage and disposal of chemicals.
• Maintain laboratory equipment and check calibration status.
• Perform literature searches to support ongoing R&D projects.
• Prepare experimental summaries, weekly updates and project reports.
• Communicate experimental observations and abnormal results to the senior scientist.
• Work collaboratively with Analytical R&D, QC, QA, Production and other cross-functional teams.

These responsibilities closely match current fresher R&D openings, where candidates support reactions, analytical-result interpretation, documentation, equipment maintenance, calibration and cGMP/GLP compliance. LLinkedIn+1
