Remote Certifying Scientist – Toxicology (LC-MS/MS Data Review)

Overview

The Remote Analytical Review Scientist is responsible for the detailed analytical review and verification of LC-MS/MS toxicology data prior to final certifying scientist evaluation and report release. This role focuses exclusively on assessment of raw and processed mass spectrometry data to ensure analytical integrity, quality control compliance, and adherence to established laboratory validation criteria.

In Short

• Perform detailed review of LC-MS/MS analytical data for toxicology confirmation assays.
• Evaluate calibration curves, system suitability, and batch acceptance criteria.
• Review quality control performance and verify compliance with established acceptance limits.
• Assess chromatographic peak integrity, integration accuracy, and signal quality.
• Confirm retention time alignment and ion transition performance according to validated methods.
• Identify analytical anomalies including interferences, carryover, poor peak shape, or integration errors.
• Document analytical findings and exceptions clearly within laboratory systems.
• Communicate analytical review outcomes with certifying scientists and laboratory personnel.
• Participate in ongoing training related to LC-MS/MS toxicology, drug metabolism, and analytical best practices.
• Maintain awareness of evolving forensic and clinical toxicology standards.

Requirements

• BS, MS, or PhD in Chemistry, Toxicology, Pharmacology, Biochemistry, or related analytical science.
• Demonstrated experience interpreting LC-MS/MS or GC-MS/MS data.
• Strong understanding of drug metabolism and toxicology principles.
• Experience reviewing calibration curves, QC performance, and chromatographic data.
• High level of attention to analytical detail and data integrity.

Benefits

• Fully remote position.
• Opportunity for ongoing training and professional development.
• Contribute to critical quality checkpoints within laboratory workflows.
• Engage in continuous quality improvement initiatives.
