Contract scientist vs doctoral fellow

Differences between contract scientist and doctoral fellow duties and responsibilities

Contract scientist example responsibilities.

• Manage data of project samples through LIMS software.
• Manage sample inventory via in-house laboratory information management system (LIMS) and implement additional systems for sample and chemical organization.
• Present chemistry of current and future targets at team meetings.
• Coordinate internal blood draws to harvest serum and plasma for future testing.
• Authenticate structure and purity of compounds by NMR, LCMS, HPLC, and CHN.
• Complete a proprietary research project in photo-electric chemistry.

Doctoral fellow example responsibilities.

• Lead the in-vitro biophysical and biochemical characterization of homologous recombination and investigate structure-function effects of mutant enzymes.
• Attend courses in drug discovery, python programming, and next-generation sequencing analyses.
• Coordinate the validation of data aquisition algorithms (C++, python) for all real and simulate data.
• Conduct custom synthesis of organic molecules, key intermediates and building blocks for medicinal chemistry applications.
• Design PCL/PLCL drug delivery system for DC immunotherapy.
• Succeed in using CRISPR to genetically correct diseas iPSCs.
