Cadila Pharma

Objective: To support the development, characterization and optimization of solid forms of APIs, intermediates or advanced materials. To conduct solid-form screening, crystallization studies, analytical characterization and contributing to robust process development.

Key Responsibility
•	Perform polymorph, solvate, hydrate, salt, and co-crystal screening using established protocols.
•	Conduct crystallization experiments to explore solid-form diversity and stability profiles.
•	Assess solid-state properties (morphology, particle size, stability, hygroscopicity) relevant to process ability.
•	Operate and interpret data from analytical tools such as: PXRD, DSC, TGA, Raman/IR spectroscopy, Optical/SEM microscopy, Particle size analyzer (by laser diffraction).
•	Develop small-scale crystallization processes for selected solid forms.
•	Study the impact of solvent, temperature, seeding, supersaturation and mixing on crystallization outcomes.
•	Provide input on crystallization scale-up and troubleshoot material-related challenges.
•	Performing crystallization studies to find the optimal solid form of a compound based on properties like stability and bioavailability.
•	Writing detailed technical reports, project updates, and protocols.
•	Collaborating with other scientists and engineers, such as in formulation development.
•	Conducting research and development for new solid-state materials and processes.
•	Maintain accurate, detailed experimental records and prepare technical reports.
•	Summarize solid-form screening results and data interpretations for project teams.
Qualification & Experience: M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Solid State Chemistry, Crystallography, Material Science, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, or related field. 2–6 years of industrial or academic experience in solid-state chemistry or crystallization development. Strong understanding of polymorphism, crystal engineering, and solid-state phenomena.
