About the role
EVA Pharma is hiring Analytical Expert within R&D Analytical Development. The role drives analytical method development, characterisation, validation, stability, and technology transfer across small molecules, Peptides, DPI, Gels, and Patches — while coaching and coordinating a team of analysts.
Key responsibiities:
Method Development & Validation
•
Develop and optimise HPLC/UPLC and dissolution methods for DS and DP across Solids, Steriles, Peptides, DPI, Gels, and Patches
•
Execute full ICH Q2(R1) method validation: specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, LOD/LOQ
•
Author validation reports and maintain lifecycle documentation
Characterisation & Impurity Profiling
•
Lead physicochemical and solid-state characterisation of DS and DP
•
Conduct impurity profiling and forced degradation studies per ICH Q3A/Q3B
•
Characterise Gel and Patch products: rheology, release rate, drug migration, adhesion, and skin permeation
•
Profile Peptide APIs: identity, purity, aggregation, and sequence confirmation
•
Support DPI characterisation: APSD via NGI/ACI, fine particle fraction, and blend uniformity
Bioassay Support
•
Support development and qualification of bioassay methods for potency and biological activity
•
Review and interpret bioassay data for batch release and stability
Stability Studies
•
Design and execute stability protocols per ICH Q1A–Q1F for DS and DP
•
Manage sampling plans, testing schedules, and data interpretation
•
Author shelf-life justification and stability summary reports for regulatory submissions
Dissolution Method Development
•
Develop biorelevant dissolution methods for solid, semi-solid (Gels), and transdermal (Patch) dosage forms
•
Validate dissolution methods and establish acceptance criteria per ICH/Ph. Eur./USP
Tech Transfer to QC
•
Lead method transfer from R&D to QC: protocols, acceptance criteria, and inter-lab comparison
•
Train QC analysts on transferred methods and resolve technical discrepancies
•
Ensure complete, audit-ready transfer documentation
Regulatory & CMC Support
•
Contribute analytical sections to CTAs, MAAs, DMFs, and local dossiers
•
Prepare validation reports, specifications, and analytical justifications
•
Support regulatory queries and inspection readiness
Team Leadership & Mentorship
•
Lead and coordinate a team of 3–6 analysts: priorities, workload, and delivery tracking
•
Coach analysts through technical challenges, troubleshooting, and data interpretation
•
Conduct regular feedback sessions and support individual development plans
•
Foster scientific discipline, accuracy, and continuous improvement
