• Investigate MOAs of our therapeutics through development, optimization, and execution of complex assays.
• Interact and collaborate with other functional groups across research.
• Provide leadership within technical area of expertise; may train, direct or mentor others.
• Design and execute key experiments to investigate novel therapeutic targets and MOAs of novel payloads to enable clear go/no-go decisions.
• Independently analyze data, document results, and present findings to large and small audiences.
• Maintain rigorous records of experimental progress using electronic laboratory notebooks.
• Present experimental results and scientific rationale to colleagues.
• Execute molecular, biochemical and cell-based methodologies including cytotoxicity assays, HiBit, HTRF, ELISA, western blotting, automated liquid handling multicolor flow cytometry, immunofluorescent and live cell microscopy.
• Aid in execution and analysis of additional experiments as need arises within the ADC discovery research team.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Cellular or Molecular Biology, Immunology, Biochemistry or related field and 6+ years' relevant industry ADC Biology or small molecule experience OR

• Experience with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and analytical software programs (e.g., Prism, FlowJo).
• Experience designing, performing and interpreting complex experiments that require significant insight into problems being addressed with some guidance.
• Working knowledge of the Cancer Biology and Cancer therapeutics areas, especially small molecule agents, Biologics and ADCs.
• Experience working independently and working on multiple projects.
• Experience collaborating across teams and a variety of disciplines to provide experimental expertise and support others on joint projects.
• Experience leading parts of projects or initiatives within area of expertise.
• Excellent written/oral communication skills with experience presenting/sharing details of the work with key stakeholders.

Preferred Requirements

• Experience in experimental cancer biology, biochemical and/or immunological techniques (e.g., Cell culture, cytotoxicity assays, HiBit, HTRF, ELISA, western blotting, automated liquid handling multicolor flow cytometry, immunofluorescent and live cell microscopy).
• Background knowledge in the field of cell signaling and biochemistry.
• Experience developing complex cell and biochemical assays.

Physical/Mental Requirements

• Lifting, sitting, standing, walking, bending, ability to perform mathematical calculations and ability to perform complex data analysis.
• Must be able to wear specialized protective clothing and PPE (e.g., lab coat, safety shoes/glasses).

Non-standard Work Schedule, Travel Or Environment Requirements
