Scientist I, Protein Biology Full-time

Antibody Team Position

The antibody team is involved in engineering and development of antibodies, with a deep focus on reagent quality and specificity. The core activities of the team include design, development, purification, conjugation and testing of antibodies in a variety of immunoassay applications using pioneering tools and technologies. The goal of the program is advanced product development and creation of product specific information to promote research use.

Role & Responsibilities

To be an integral part of an antibody development team with a focus on performance and specificity using innovative molecular, protein, and cell biology methods.

Responsibilities

1. Work on single cell sorting.
2. Meticulous experimental planning and execution to meet program goals.
3. Timely record keeping of results into data sheets and laboratory note-books.
4. Regular mining of literature and keeping oneself up to date with developments in field of antibody development.
5. Compilation and presentation of data in written and oral formats. Active participation in team meetings.
6. Attention to detail and adherence to schedules.

Candidate Requirement

Applicants should have Masters with 0-4 years experience or a PhD in a life sciences field (submitted within the last one year) with a strong focus on molecular biology, immunology, biotechnology or biochemistry.

Nature of Experience

• Thorough in immunology and flowcytometry workflows. Experience in cell sorting is an added advantage.
• Working knowledge and experience in molecular biology workflows such as high-throughput molecular cloning, plasmid vector construction, PCRs, Restriction digestion, Ligation, Transformation, Mini and maxi preps, sequencing
• Ability to provide technical trouble shooting to resolve scientific problems.
• Proficient in software or platforms for flowcytometry and data analysis, FlowJo, FCSExpress, MS Office and statistical software such as GraphPad Prism.
• Theoretical or practical experience in antibody development platforms is desirable.
• Project or work experience in support of relevant skills such as publications, project reports or thesis work.
