About the role

A leading scientific organization is seeking a hands‑on scientist based in Chicago, Illinois, who combines technical expertise in pharmaceutical R&D with strong project coordination skills. You will track project timelines, support formulation experiments, and work closely with various teams to drive successful outcomes. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience, particularly in analytical chemistry, and is skilled in HPLC. This full-time position offers competitive salary and comprehensive benefits.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
