This role is responsible for executing chemicals reactions to synthesize required quantities of molecules / compounds as per client specifications using efficient route and techniques.

Responsibilities 

• Set-up and execute reactions for synthesis of target molecules/ compounds:

•  Understand the project requirements as specified by the client, the synthetic route
• Understand and discuss the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) with team members
• Identify and mitigate any potential safety risk with the help of supervisor
• Plan and execute reactions with proper reagents and equipment (glassware, stirrers, vacuum pumps etc.) maintaining specified conditions (temperature, pressure etc.), with optimum usage and minimum wastage
• Ensure parallel execution of multiple reactions
• Monitor the reaction by observing progress by using analytical techniques
• Identify and execute appropriate workup and purification technique to produce an intermediary / final compound of desired quality
• Analyze analytical data, evaluate and interpret results from the synthesis and report
•  Meet productivity benchmarks on number of reactions / number of steps / number of compounds / quality / compounds purity / project timelines

•         Ensure safety at work through enforcement of good laboratory practices:

• Follow safety and quality systems in the labs
• Maintenance and usage of equipment/apparatus/instruments as per SOPs and general housekeeping norms

•         Maintain records, data integrity and IP confidentiality:

• Document reactions executed, research findings/ observations accurately in lab notr books as per client requirements to ensure data integrity
• Maintain strict IP confidentiality and adhere to all related policies
• To prepare final reports as required

•         Ensure high morale and skill development of team:

• Improve knowledge of organic chemistry (particularly synthesis) / Analytical techniques etc. through ono on one discussions with supervisor/ regular classroom trainings/ project trainings/ further education programs etc.
