Who We Are:

At Neurocrine Biosciences, we pride ourselves on having a strong, inclusive, and positive culture based on our shared purpose and values. We know what it takes to be great, and we are as passionate about our people as we are about our purpose - to relieve suffering for people with great needs.

What We Do:

Neurocrine Biosciences is a leading neuroscience-focused, biopharmaceutical company with a simple purpose: to relieve suffering for people with great needs. We are dedicated to discovering and developing life-changing treatments for patients with under-addressed neurological, neuroendocrine and neuropsychiatric disorders. The company's diverse portfolio includes FDA-approved treatments for tardive dyskinesia, chorea associated with Huntington's disease, classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, endometriosis* and uterine fibroids,* as well as a robust pipeline including multiple compounds in mid- to late-phase clinical development across our core therapeutic areas. For three decades, we have applied our unique insight into neuroscience and the interconnections between brain and body systems to treat complex conditions. We relentlessly pursue medicines to ease the burden of debilitating diseases and disorders because you deserve brave science.

About the Role:

The successful candidate will independently conduct laboratory experiments to support small-molecule projects for Chemical Development. The initial focus will be on providing analytical support for a late-stage Neurocrine program, including collaboration with international CMO partners to ensure the development and validation of methods for regulatory starting materials and intermediates. Responsibilities also include troubleshooting out-of-specification (OOS) and out-of-trend (OOT) results. Proficiency in modern HPLC, mass spectrometry (MS), and Headspace GC is essential. The ideal candidate will be a strong team player, contributing effectively in a large, open, and well-equipped analytical laboratory. Excellent documentation practices and a strong commitment to safety and compliance with company, departmental, and regulatory guidelines are required.
