Vacancy No : P02
Short Description of the Project : The project deals with the development of cost-effective and environment-friendly processes for the identified Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (Ambroxol HCL, APIs) and Key Starting Materials (KSMs) along with scale-up activities for further leverage by the Indian API companies for indigenous production to reduce and eventually nullify external dependence.
Essential Qualification : Masters in Pharmaceutical Chemistry or Equivalent
Subject : Chemistry
Desirable Qualification : M. Tech. (Pharm. Chem. Tech.)/ M. Tech. (Green Tech.)/M. Pharm. (Pharmaceutical Chemistry)/M. Sc. (Organic Chemistry) or equivalent
Experience : Candidates with relevant experience in the API and API Intermediate Process Development will be given preference. Ideally, candidates with experience on multistep, multikilo-scale process development of APIs with technology transfer to bulk-scale are welcome to apply.
Experience Duration : 0-1 Year
Short Job Description : The Project Fellow is expected to carry out literature survey, design synthetic routes, perform various reactions on small- and larger-scales, purify the intermediates and the final products, analyze them using suitable structural characterization and chromatographic tools and document all the project activities in timely manner. The scale-up activities from lab- to pilot-plant scale form major part of the project activities. The technology transfer to the industrial scale is the desirable outcome. The project fellow is also expected to supervise the project related activities conducted by B. Tech. and/or M. Tech./M. Pharm. students. Report preparation, presentation of project activities form an integral part of the job.

Vacancy No : P05
Short Description of the Project : P05: This project involves laboratory scale synthesis of OTBN (2 cyano4-methyl biphenyl) by multiple methods and optimisation of reaction parameters for all of them in order to arrive at a method for further batch as well as flow reactor scale up. After this, the design of a flow reactor followed by optimisation of reaction at large scale is envisaged. Further work would involve optimisation various unit processes, effluent treatment etc to obtain an industrially feasible technology.
Essential Qualification : Master’s degree in Chemistry
Subject : Chemistry
Desirable Qualification : Knowledge of flow chemistry
Experience : 2-3 years industrial experience in process chemistry
Experience Duration : 2-3 years
Short Job Description : The work involves laboratory as well as large scale synthesis, obtaining and interpretation of analytical data, optimisation of purification methods, and requires excellent knowledge of relevant theoretical concepts as well as practical techniques. In addition, the candidate is required to transfer the batch process to flow reactor, and carry out engineering aspects of the work.
