Scientist, Material Sciences

Position Summary

Perform laboratory experiments for physicochemical characterization and conjugation of protein reagents for multiple technology platforms (immunoassays, flow cytometry, IHC, LCMS). Collaborate and communicate across the organization to ensure on-time delivery of high-quality characterized materials.

• Independently design, execute, and analyze LCMS, SEC, and other experiments to assess physicochemical properties of antibody and non-antibody protein reagents.
• Develop, validate, and implement quantitative/qualitative assays using LC-MS, SEC-RI, and Uv-Vis with minimal guidance.
• Independently design and execute bioconjugation method development experiments for antibodies and proteins.
• Refine characterization protocols; interpret results, plan next steps, compile data summaries, and present to stakeholders.
• Provide oversight of experimental design/data review for junior staff; assist with scientific collaborations/contracted research.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders; may serve as technical point of contact.
• May lead innovation projects; troubleshoot instrument problems.
• Maintain training and complete notebooks/documentation per SOPs and departmental guidelines.
• Lead or contribute to writing/presenting findings (posters, publications, oral presentations).

• Bachelor’s + 4+ years;
  Master’s + 2+ years;
  Ph.D. + 0+ years (related field).
• Operational/theoretical knowledge of mass spectrometry, size exclusion chromatography, and reverse phase chromatography.
• Basic protein conjugation chemistry knowledge required (experience preferred).
• Proficient scientific writing, verbal communication; ability to work across functions with internal/external stakeholders.
• Excellent problem-solving skills.
