Senior Research Associate​/Associate Scientist - Antibody Discovery

We are seeking a highly motivated and versatile Research Associate / Senior Research Associate with hands-on phage display experience to support our antibody discovery efforts. In this role, you will contribute to the discovery and engineering of innovative antibody-based drug candidates for cancer therapy. The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic startup biotech environment, takes initiative, and is eager to learn and adopt new techniques.

• Prepare and execute phage display campaigns including library construction, phage panning and clone screening.
• Execute molecular biology workflows such as mRNA isolation, cDNA synthesis and DNA cloning.
• Perform ELISA and other protein–protein interaction assays (e.g., BLI, SPR) to evaluate binding characteristics.
• Document experiments in electronic lab notebook (ELN); maintain accurate lab records and present results to project team.
• Adapt rapidly to emerging assays and technologies, contribute proactively in a dynamic, startup style laboratory environment.

• Bachelor of Science (BS) or Master of Science (MS) in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Biotechnology, or related life science field.
• 2–3 years of experience in phage antibody discovery in a biotech, pharma or academic setting.
• Demonstrated hands on expertise in executing phage display antibody discovery workflows, including phage panning, clone recovery, and downstream characterization of enriched binders.
• Proficiency in advanced molecular cloning methodologies (e.g., Gibson assembly, Golden Gate, site-directed mutagenesis).
• Self-driven, flexible, eager to learn new methods and comfortable wearing multiple hats in a small startup team environment.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and documentation skills.

• Be part of a fast-moving startup with a strong discovery pipeline and early-stage biotech energy.
• Work directly on innovative antibody programs and contribute meaningfully to project milestones.
• Opportunity to learn and expand your technical skills set across phage display, cell line development, protein engineering, and early develop ability.
• Inclusive, dynamic team culture — you’ll have the chance to make a real impact.
