Scientist, Analytical Sciences

Role Summary

Scientist in Analytical Sciences focused on physicochemical analysis of biopharmaceutical products, including novel therapeutic proteins and monoclonal antibodies. Responsible for analytical method development, method qualification/transfer, unknown peak identification, degradation pathway analysis, lab experiments, SOP/report preparation, and regulatory submissions. Opportunities to publish and present work in journals and conferences.

Responsibilities

• Perform analytical method development, qualification/transfer, and degradation pathway analysis for biopharmaceuticals.
• Conduct laboratory experiments and collaborate with multiple development groups.
• Prepare and review SOPs and reports; contribute to regulatory submissions.
• Publish and present work in high-quality journals and conferences.

Qualifications

• Required: Education: bachelor or master degree or equivalent in biology, chemistry, or related field. Experience: B.S. with 5+ years, M.S. with 3+ years.
• Strong knowledge in biochemical/biophysical analysis and characterization of proteins.
• Hands-on experience with chromatographic techniques (SEC, RP-HPLC, HILIC, IEX, HIC).
• Hands-on experience with electrophoretic techniques (CE-SDS, CZE, icIEF, SDS-PAGE).
• Extensive knowledge of Openlab and Empower CDS Software.
• Ability to understand and apply complex chemical concepts in the lab; aptitude for maintaining and troubleshooting instrumentation.
