Area: Manchester
Salary: Competitive

SRG is working with a global CDMO that is rapidly expanding and looking for multiple Analytical scientists at various levels to support their API division.

We are looking for a range of scientists from Scientist, Senior Analytical Scientist and Associate Principal Scientist level to join a rapidly growing global pharmaceutical company in Manchester.

The successful candidate will be currently involved in the Non-GMP analysis of intermediates and APIs, utilising HPLC, GC and various other techniques in a development setting. Senior positions will be leading and guiding the analytical development projects, providing analytical advice to colleagues.

In order to be successful in this position, you would need to have a strong background in HPLC and GC analysis, specifically with APIs and/or small molecules within the Pharmaceutical industry. You will ideally have recent experience in other analytical methodologies such as techniques for identity or form determination (e.g. NMR, MS, IR, XRD).

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Identify, develop and optimise synthetic routes to small molecule drug substances (APIs), supporting both early and late phase development.
Develop, validate and carry out Tech Transfer on analytical methods (both GMP and non-GMP)
Calibration and routine monitoring/maintenance of analytical equipment.
Support the site Quality Management System including input into investigations and/or CAPAs.
Utilise a range of techniques such as HPLC, GC, NMR, MS, IR and XRD.
Associate Principal Scientist role: Lead and guide scientists within the analytical development team.

Skills Required:

Educated to a BSc, MSc or PhD level in a Scientific related discipline.
A background in Analytical Chemistry, with recent experience with HPLC, GC and other analytical techniques.
Essential: Recent experience with APIs and small molecule analysis.
Method Development experience highly desired.Senior position Requirements:

Experience with regulatory requirements for the development and validation of analytical methods for APIs.
Project Leadership experience.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Medical Technology—Transforming Healthcare for the Future

Medical technology—or medtech—stands at the forefront of redefining how we diagnose, treat, and manage illness. From MRI scanners that peer deep into our bodies to personalised therapy platforms that predict disease risk, medtech solutions already shape modern healthcare. Yet as the global population grows and health needs become more complex, conventional computational methods face staggering challenges in analysing massive biological datasets, simulating intricate disease pathways, and accelerating drug discovery. This is where quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) converge to spark a new wave of quantum-enhanced AI—unlocking innovation in medical technology like never before. Why does quantum matter for medtech? Traditional supercomputers rely on binary bits (0 or 1). Quantum computers harness qubits, capable of existing in multiple states simultaneously (superposition) and becoming interlinked (entanglement). The result? Potential exponential or quadratic speed-ups for certain algorithms and simulations—particularly those that involve high-dimensional data, complex protein folding, or combinatorial searches for novel drugs. In parallel, AI—especially machine learning—has already revolutionised medical imaging, diagnostics, and patient monitoring. However, standard AI approaches often choke on the vast computational loads inherent to genome analysis, multi-omics data, or advanced robotics. Quantum computing promises to offload or accelerate some of these computationally intense tasks, enabling more powerful models, faster results, and the potential to discover new correlations hidden within enormous datasets. In this article, we will: Examine the current landscape of medical technology, highlighting computational barriers that hamper progress. Demystify quantum computing and its fundamental differences from classical systems. Explore how quantum-enhanced AI can reshape medtech applications—from drug discovery to diagnostics and beyond. Dive into real-world pilot projects and potential breakthroughs on the horizon. Discuss challenges (like hardware maturity, data encoding, ethics, and patient privacy) and how the industry might overcome them. Highlight career paths, roles, and skill sets that could define the next generation of medtech professionals. If you’re involved in medical device development, healthcare data analysis, or simply curious about the future of medicine, read on. Quantum-enhanced AI has the potential to supercharge healthcare innovation, improving patient outcomes while driving exciting new career opportunities.
