Job Title: Material Scientist
Location: Barcelona, Spain ; Baie-D'Urfé, Canada; Uppsala, Sweden; Boston, US; London, UK.

At Galderma, we’re looking for a hands-on Material Scientist to join a small, highly technical team where expertise, curiosity, and critical thinking truly matter.

This role is ideal for someone who doesn’t just study materials—but understands how they interact, behave, and impact real products in a regulated environment.

Your Impact

You will bring deep technical expertise to understand, characterize, and optimize materials, ensuring performance, compatibility, and scalability across our products and packaging systems.

What You’ll Do

• Analyze and characterize materials and their chemical composition and behavior
• Understand interactions between raw materials and packaging (tubes, bottles, etc.)
• Assess how supplier differences impact material performance and product quality
• Investigate material-related issues and drive practical, science-based solutions
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across Product Science, MS&T, and Quality
• Translate complex findings into clear technical documentation and presentations

What You Bring

• MSc or PhD in Material Science, Chemistry, or related field
• 3–8+ years in pharma, biotech, cosmetics, or injectable/aesthetic products
• Strong expertise in material characterization and analytical techniques
• Deep understanding of material interactions and applied science (not theoretical-only)
• Hands-on mindset with strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
• Excellent technical writing and presentation abilities
• applied material science in regulated industries (e.g., pharma, aesthetics, cosmetics)

Our people make a difference

At Galderma, you'll work with people who are like you. And people that are different. We value what every member of our team brings. Professionalism, collaboration, and a friendly, supportive ethos is the perfect environment for people to thrive and excel in what they do.
