Beacon Hill Life Sciences is actively recruiting for an Analytical Chemist / Scientist for a Direct Hire role in New York City, New York.

You will be working from AI and compound discovery to perfumery.

Must be able to work on-site in New York City 5 days / week.

Salary is based on experience with range of $130K - $150K.

Relocation assistance may be made available.)

Candidate must have M.S. or Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry (or related field) who has flavor / fragrance chemistry experience of small molecules / volatile compounds.

Experience with GC / MS robotic samples, such as Gerstel is a plus. Ideal candidate must be a good communicator, detail oriented and hands-on expert on analytical chemistry techniques for volatile compounds.

Responsibilities include designing and executing method development and validation for small molecules. You will contribute to cutting edge research for digital olfaction and work closely with AI, Data Operations, Perfumery and Synthetic Chemistry teams.

Be responsible for a well-maintained and highly functioning lab; troubleshoot and do simple repairs on instruments.
