Job Details

Research Scientist - 49988BR

The Research Scientist will be a member of the Chemical Hazards Lab (CHL) within the process design and development division of Small Molecule Design and Development (SMDD). The CHL provides thermal hazards analyses for products and processes using rigorous experimental design and execution in conjunction with established methods for assessing thermal stability. The CHL workflow includes internal experimental activities (Calorimetry, Flash Point Determination), oversight of outsourced thermal testing activities (Fallhammer Tests, Dust Explosivity, SADT Determination, Vent Sizing), and collaborating with SMDD scientists to design, develop and execute inherently safe processes with Lilly manufacturing or in our third-party supplier network. The Research Scientist will be responsible for the following: process safety design, development, testing and consulting. Perform and/or oversee the design and implementation of reaction calorimetry, thermal stability, flammability, explosivity, and chemical compatibility tests. Interpret experimental data and provide specific guidance to scientists to eliminate or minimize or mitigate risks due to detected thermal hazards. Participate in risk assessments and root cause analysis activities related to thermal chemical hazards. Perform theoretical calculations as necessary to estimate heat of decomposition, heat of reaction, flammability parameters, and other difficult to measure quantities. Develop mathematical models for the prediction of thermal hazard upsets on scale. Ensure creation of accurate test reports and timely delivery of results or interpretation for all thermal hazards testing. Provide process safety training and consultation for Lilly employees and our network partners. Maintain current working knowledge of us and European union process safety laws and shipping practices laws as they relate to process safety, chemical reactivity and thermal stability.
