Associate Scientist, Biologics Characterization

Role: Associate Scientist, Biologics Characterization, supporting biologics development through analytical characterization. Responsibilities: independently design, execute, analyze, and report experiments evaluating biologics structure, heterogeneity, stability, and quality attributes using platforms such as LC-MS, peptide mapping, glycan analysis, HPLC/UPLC, spectroscopy, and biophysical methods; generate data supporting process development, comparability, stability, and regulatory submissions; troubleshoot technical issues; prepare technical documentation and communicate findings to cross-functional teams. Requirements: bachelor’s degree with 8+ years, master’s with 6+ years, or Ph.D. with relevant industry experience in protein chemistry, biophysics, or analytical chemistry; hands-on experience with biologics characterization techniques; demonstrated ability to independently plan and analyze experiments; understanding of biologics quality attributes and regulatory expectations. Preferred: experience with biopharma development, GMP environments, and data integrity principles. HighValue: biologics (likely monoclonal antibodies or therapeutic proteins), relevant to CMC development, supporting drug substance or product activities, with emphasis on assay development, stability, and comparability studies. WorkSetup: based in Lexington, MA; roles may involve working in controlled environments; no direct management responsibilities; no travel specified.
