Senior Scientist: Mammalian Cell Culture Full-time

Scientist Position

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated scientist to establish and optimize an in-house platform for the expression, purification, and analytical characterization of complex recombinant proteins, including antibodies and antibody fragments, using secreted mammalian expression systems. This is a unique opportunity for an expert in protein science and automation to build a critical new capability from the ground up within our protein science research group. The successful candidate will drive the development of innovative methods, automation solutions, and establish best practices for high-throughput expression and characterization of antibodies and antibody fragments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Extensive hands-on experience in recombinant protein expression in mammalian systems

• Demonstrated experience with laboratory automation (TECAN) and high-throughput screening methodologies

• Solid understanding and practical application of various protein analytical techniques

• Strong problem-solving skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively

Education and Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, or a related scientific discipline

• 4-6 years of experience in relevant lab work

• Experience in antibody expression/purification is a plus

• Experience in SPR/BLI for antibody/antibody fragment characterization is a plus

In some cases, an equivalency, consisting of a combination of appropriate education, training and/or directly related experience, will be considered sufficient for an individual to meet the requirements of the role.

Working Environment:

Below is listed the working environment/requirements for this role:
