Contract scientist vs senior scientist

Differences between contract scientist and senior scientist 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.

• Lead the development and implementation of new technology for use in NMR applications.
• Strategize and manage the PK/PD program with internal collaborations including chemistry, DMPK, formulation and toxicology.
• Lead a team and develop a 24-channel GC parallel separation system for high throughput screening of catalysts.
• Lead a team of 11 direct reports and 35 indirect reports to solve development problems for multicapillary electrophoresis instruments.
• Influence and impact others through building and maintaining strong networks that are leverage to obtain critical information and accomplish objectives.
• Manage collaborations with external CROs.
