Full Job Description

Kelly® Science & Clinical is seeking a Research Associate, Small Molecule Formulation Development, for a direct hire opportunity with one of our clients, a start-up biotechnology company in San Diego, CA. If you are driven by the prospect of translating cutting-edge scientific discoveries into tangible advancements and are poised to advance your career, join us as we pioneer progress in the biotechnology industry.
Workplace: Onsite in the San Diego CA area
Position Title: Research Associate, Smal Molecule API Formulation Development
Position Type: Contract-to-hire
Pay rate: $30-45 per hour
Make an Impact in Pioneering Ocular Therapeutics
Are you ready to play a critical role in a mission-driven biotech start-up developing next-generation neuroprotective therapeutics? A nimble, innovative, and well-funded team is seeking a hands-on Research Associate to expand their Glaucoma Formulation Development group. Here, your contributions will directly accelerate programs aiming to address major unmet needs in ocular health, particularly those impacting vision loss and blindness.
Your Role
Work in a collaborative, entrepreneurial setting where you’ll have the opportunity to:

Experiment at the Bench: Support the full spectrum of formulation development from sample prep through data analysis, focusing on new formulations and the evaluation of novel small molecule pipeline APIs.
Leverage Core Techniques: Utilize HPLC and UV-Vis (primarily Agilent systems) on a daily basis to analyze samples and support ongoing HPV research and intravitreal ocular CMC programs.
Document with Precision: Employ Benchling ELN and Good Documentation Practices (GDP) to communicate results, maintain rigorous records, and contribute to regulatory documentation.
Enable Production: Assist with non-GLP/GLP production, ensure compliance with SOPs, and participate in stability, solubility, and release testing of prototypes.
Collaborate & Innovate: As part of a close-knit team, you’ll work directly with senior scientists and help shape best practices for a rapidly growing start-up.

What You Bring
Essential:

B.S. or M.S. in Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related technical discipline
2+ years hands-on industry experience (small molecule experience required)
Strong technical experience with HPLC, UV, and sample prep—Agilent instrumentation preferred
Exposure to documentation systems (Benchling preferred) and a disciplined approach to GDP
Highly organized, detail-oriented, and an excellent written communicator
Experience in a regulated, quality-focused laboratory setting
Motivation to grow within a start-up; a positive cultural contributor open to a dynamic, collaborative environment

Nice to Have:

Familiarity with sustained-release formulations or experience in ocular drug development
Experience in intravitreal, injectable, or ophthalmic products
CMC documentation support for preclinical or IND-enabling studies

Why Join?
This is an opportunity to directly impact the trajectory of programs tackling significant medical challenges in vision science, working in state-of-the-art facilities with mentorship and resources for growth. As a key member of a small, empowered group, your work will be visible, valued, and critical for success. The intention is for this role to convert to permanent based on mutual fit.
