Scientist – Bispecific & T-Cell Engager Discovery

A confidential clinical-stage biotech client is expanding their biologics discovery team and looking for a Scientist to help move next-generation immune-redirecting antibody candidates through early discovery and toward preclinical development. This is a hands-on lab role with genuine input into which candidates advance.

• Contribute to antibody design, production and purification
• Design and run functional studies to inform target and lead selection
• Develop and refine cell-based potency and safety assays
• Characterise antibody binding and specificity using standard immunoassay techniques
• Work with engineered cell systems and primary immune cell populations
• Partner cross-functionally and with external labs to keep programmes on track
• Translate complex data into clear, decision-ready conclusions

• Experience in antibody or biologics discovery within immuno‑oncology
• Hands‑on cell biology skills: cell line engineering, primary immune cell culture, functional immunoassays
• A track record of turning complex datasets into clear scientific conclusions
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Level: PhD + 1–3 years post-PhD, or MS + 5–7 years in immunology, cell biology or biologics discovery.

Full technical detail on the programme and assay platforms is shared during an initial confidential conversation.
