In this role, you will be part of a group that broadly participates in pre-clinical candidate developability assessments and technology innovation efforts designed to enhance our understanding of novel protein therapeutics using solution-state and computational approaches.

This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing, science-driven organization making a meaningful difference to patients worldwide.

When & Where

Location: On-site in Tarrytown, NY

What You'll Do

• Conduct sample preparation of protein therapeutics to support biochemical and biophysical characterization experiments, measuring heterogeneity, aggregation state, and thermal stability using liquid chromatography, light scattering, and other techniques to elucidate quality attributes of therapeutic candidates for developability assessment
• Perform early biochemical and biophysical assessment of novel protein therapeutics, providing input on experimental design and suggesting method optimization to address program needs or characterize attributes of novel protein therapeutics
• Analyze data and document experiments, results, and findings in an electronic laboratory notebook; draft protocols, and present work at group and departmental meetings
• Comply with lab safety standards and proactively contribute to a clean and safe lab environment
• Draft technical documents to support regulatory filings and contribute to drafting peer-reviewed publications, as needed
• Maintain instruments, contribute to drafting protocols, troubleshoot instrumental/experimental issues, and order/maintain supplies
