Job Roles & Responsibilities
Set-upand execute reactions for synthesis of molecules/ compounds:
- Understand the project requirements and deliverables from supervisor/ manager, as specified by the client
- Comprehend the reaction protocol and search literature as required
- Understand and discuss the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) with supervisor/ team members
- Identify and mitigate any potential safety risk with the help of supervisor
- Plan and execute reactions independently 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 progress of the reactions by using standard methods and analytical techniques
- Identify and execute appropriate workup and purification technique to produce an intermediate/ final compound of desired quality
- Analyze and interpret analytical data results and report to supervisor/manager
- Troubleshoot as appropriate for successful execution with intimation to supervisor
- Meet productivity benchmarks on number of reactions/ number of steps/ number of compounds/ quantity/ compound purity/ project timelines
Ensure safety at work through enforcement of good laboratory practices:
- Follow safety protocols and guidelines in the labs
- Maintenance and usage of equipment/apparatus/instruments as per SOPs
Maintain records, data integrity and IP confidentiality:
- Document reactions, research findings/ observations accurately in lab note books as per client requirements/ LNB SOP to ensure data integrity
- Maintain strict IP Confidentiality and adhere to all related policies
- Compile required experimental data to prepare final reports
Ensure skill development of self:
- Improve knowledge of organic chemistry (particularly synthesis)/ Analytical techniques etc.
- Through one on one discussions with supervisor/ regular classroom trainings/ project trainings/ further educational programs etc.
