Predoctoral Research Associate - Summer

Adimab is the leading technology provider for therapeutic antibody drug discovery. Our Predoctoral Program is a 24‑month opportunity that provides meaningful experience in an innovative, entrepreneurial environment. The program is designed for individuals looking to gain two years of industry experience before moving on to a PhD program. Our goal is to ensure that all predocs receive the resources and training required to be accepted into a top‑tier program.

As an Adimab “predoc”, you will work on innovative science and have the opportunity to make an immediate impact in cutting‑edge antibody drug discovery and engineering. Using Adimab’s state‑of‑the‑art yeast‑based antibody discovery platform, you will work with a team of experienced scientists on both partner‑funded discovery projects as well as internal technology development initiatives. Consistent with our belief that great ideas can come from anyone, we expect predocs to actively contribute to research aims that will help drive the company forward.

In addition to rigorous scientific training, you will receive career mentorship and assistance with the graduate school application process. At Adimab, we are committed to the professional growth of our people and provide them with opportunities to attend conferences, participate in journal clubs, present to both internal and external stakeholders, and publish in scientific journals.

We offer competitive salaries, great benefits, and a high‑energy culture with plenty of opportunities for personal and professional growth.
