Research Scientist — (Confocal Raman Spectroscopy)

Job Resposibilities:

• Design and author clinical protocols for in vivo skin penetration studies
• Prepare and submit Human Research Ethics Committee (EC/IRB) applications; manage volunteer recruitment, screening, and informed consent
• Operate the CRS system: depth profiling, spectral acquisition, optical alignment, laser safety
• Acquire and validate reference spectra for SRL actives, maintain the spectral reference library, and review depthprofile outputs for fit quality and artefacts.
• Write SOPs, validation protocols, and uncertainty budgets to ISO/IEC 17025 standards
• Produce clientfacing technical reports and support technical discussions with international customers
• Correlate in vivo CRS results with in vitro methods (Franz cell, tape stripping) and other skin biophysics endpoints

Qualification:

• Master of Science with 2–5 years relevant hands-on experience, or PhD with 1-3 years, in Pharmaceutical Sciences/Pharmaceutics, Analytical Chemistry, Physics/Biophysics, Biomedical Science, Cosmetic Science, or a related field
• Comfort with spectral data — baseline correction, normalisation, and interpretation of fitted component profiles.
• Humansubjectresearch experience — protocol writing, EC/IRB submission in Thailand, Thai language consent and volunteer briefing, randomisation and blinding, sourcedata discipline. ICHGCP training strongly preferred.
• Skin science fundamentals — stratum corneum structure, the SC water gradient and natural moisturising factor, partition and diffusion principles, and the distinction between penetration, permeation, and systemic absorption.
• Qualitysystem discipline — SOP authoring, method validation, measurement unce
• Good command in English both speaking and writing
