Description:

• We are seeking a skilled protein biochemist to join our Protein Engineering team. The Research Associate will work in a small team setting to support developability assays for protein therapeutics including monospecific and multispecific antibodies.
• You will be involved with analytical methods for routine testing and extended characterization of physicochemical attributes of therapeutic proteins.

Your role:

• You will be responsible for analysis of protein purity by SDS-PAGE, HPLC-SEC, HIC and DLS.
• You will conduct protein stability assays, by thermal denaturation and accelerated degradation methods.
• You will perform analysis, interpretation, documentation and presentation of data to project teams.
• You will contribute to group knowledge and expertise through collaboration and idea exchange with multidisciplinary teams.
• The individual must be highly motivated, ready to learn new skills and adapt, have meticulous bench-work and record-keeping, and can function independently.

Your background:

• BA/BS or MS degree in Biochemistry, Biophysics, or a related field with 1-3 years of research experience in protein engineering, protein biochemistry or biophysics is required.
• Experience with standard protein characterization techniques such as SDS-PAGE, HPLC (SEC, HIC) and/or CE-based (CE-SDS, icIEF) methods.
• Experience with routine lab equipment, lab automation, and methods, including preparing buffers, measuring pH, UV absorbances, etc.
• A strong understanding of protein structure and biophysical chemistry.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze, interpret and present data in a clear manner.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
