Moderna's Technical Development organization needs to design and scale manufacturing processes for mRNA medicines, including developing new manufacturing platforms for mRNA therapeutics and vaccines for clinical trials and commercial licensure. The CMC Quantitative Sciences team specifically needs statistical design, modeling, and advanced analytics to support sound CMC decisions, including process capability, specification setting, control strategies, and regulatory submissions.
Requirements
- Strong fundamental scientific and engineering skills for the evaluation of experimental data
- Laboratory skills applicable to bioprocess development and analytical methods
Responsibilities
- Use laboratory, technical and communication skills to generate experimental results, perform data analysis, and document in formal reports including conclusions and recommended next steps.
- Perform process scale-up, support technology transfer and provide manufacturing support at internal Moderna, and external contract manufacturing sites.
- Participate in planning, design, execution, analysis of experiments and formal risk assessments to establish critical process parameters, and overall process control strategies.
- Optimize the impact of formulation and processing conditions on the stability of mRNA drug products and process intermediates.
- Review and share relevant academic literature and establish new collaborations with internal research and manufacturing groups.
- Create scaled-down models, and high throughput experimental setups for unit operations.
- Characterize mRNA and lipid nanoparticles through collaboration with the analytical team.
