Manager-track GQP quality assurance for Nippon Kayaku's pharmaceuticals: data review for manufacturing sites in Japan and overseas, audits, regulatory filings and developing junior staff.
About this role
A research and development role at Nippon Kayaku's Fine Chemicals Research Laboratory, in the group that develops water-based inks and related technology for industrial inkjet printers. The industrial inkjet business is expanding, and customers increasingly demand higher-performance inks; the core materials that largely decide ink performance need continuous improvement.
The researcher develops the materials used in the inks, designs ink formulations, builds evaluation techniques and works on foundational technology for new inks. Ink development spans many technologies, so most research themes are run by small teams rather than by one person, and there is room to take on management of such a small team, either soon after joining or later.
Applicants need a bachelor's degree or higher (master's or doctorate also accepted) and at least three years of experience in chemistry-related research and development.
