Scientist, Analytical Development Full-time

Scientist, Analytical Development

Working at Bristol Myers Squibb is anything but usual. Here, uniquely interesting work happens every day, in every department. From optimizing a production line to the latest breakthroughs in cell therapy, this is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it. You'll get the chance to grow and thrive through opportunities uncommon in scale and scope, alongside high-achieving teams. Take your career farther than you thought possible.

This role is for you if…

You're the kind of scientist who gets genuinely excited when something doesn't work the way it should. Who sees a tricky separation problem and thinks “let me figure this out” rather than “let me pass this along.” Who reads about 2DLC or capillary electrophoresis not because you have to but because you actually find it fascinating.

The role

As a Scientist in Analytical Development, you'll be embedded within Chemical Process Development (CPD) project teams, working shoulder-to-shoulder with organic chemists and chemical engineers on some of the most scientifically complex drug candidates in BMS's portfolio – spanning small molecules, ADCs, peptides, and oligonucleotides.

This isn't a support role in the background. You'll be a core contributor, providing the analytical insights that directly shape route selection, process optimization, and scale-up decisions. The data you generate, the methods you develop and the solutions you bring to the table will have a direct line to clinical outcomes.

What you'll be doing — and what it really means for you

• Developing and validating fit-for-purpose analytical methods
• Applying innovative separation techniques like 2DLC and SFC
• Implementing automation and improving continuous manufacturing monitoring
• Transferring methods to support timely clinical API batch release
• Collaborating across matrixed teams within CPD and broader Product Development
• Publishing and presenting your work externally

What you'll gain

• Technical depth AND breadth
• A clear growth path
• Cutting-edge tools and techniques
• Visibility and recognition
• Work that echoes beyond the lab

What you'll bring

• A PhD or Master's degree in Analytical or Organic Chemistry
• Solid experience with chromatographic and/or spectroscopic techniques
• An interest or working knowledge of data science, AI/ML, or programming applied to analytical chemistry
• Experience navigating matrixed, cross-functional teams
• A genuine can-do attitude
• An unwavering commitment to safety and the highest scientific standards

The kind of place you'll be doing it

BMS's Chemical Process Development function is built around the belief that world-class analytical science isn't a service function – it's a strategic differentiator. You'll be joining a team that actively partners across the organization, that invests in its people's growth, and that genuinely celebrates scientific curiosity.

Here, your ideas will land. Your instincts will be trusted. And your best work will find its way to patients who need it.
