The successful candidate will have extensive experience in bioanalytical method development and sample analysis using LC-MS/MS and other analytical techniques.

The Opportunity

• Provide bioanalytical support for in vivo PK, PK/PD, efficacy studies, non-GLP toxicology and in vitro studies
• Conduct bioanalytical method development and qualification to support drug, metabolite and biomarker analysis
• Independently develop LC-MS/MS methods to quantitate small molecules in in vitro and in vivo samples and execute sample analysis
• Independently operate, troubleshoot and maintain LC-MS/MS and analytical equipment
• Participate in multidisciplinary project teams and partner closely with other departments, including pharmacology, chemistry and biology to understand bioanalytical needs for PK support
• Maintain accurate and detailed laboratory notebooks
• Ability to think and plan strategically, and excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work in a team environment

What You’ll Bring

• BS or equivalent with 10 or more years’ relevant experience, or MS with 6 or more years’ relevant experience, or PhD with up to 4 years’ relevant experience working in a discovery setting using quantitative LC-MS/MS within a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company
• Demonstrated experience in small molecule biomarkers as well as drug candidate bioanalytical assay development/sample quantitative analysis in complex biological matrices using LC-MS/MS
• Proven experience running and troubleshooting LC-MS/MS-based quantitative workflows on Sciex platforms and software
• Excellent written, verbal communications and interpersonal skills to collaborate with internal and external partners in a matrix environment
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and manage multiple priorities

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in targeted protein degradation or heterobifunctional degrader platforms
• Extensive experience with H/UPLC and mass spectrometry
• Extensive experience with sample analysis to support PK, PK/PD, efficacy, distribution, metabolism, and non-GLP toxicology studies
• Extensive experience in developing and implementing quantitative LC-MS/MS based assays for small molecules in complex biological matrices
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Experience reviewing result files and reports from bioanalytical contract research organizations
• Experience with maintaining detailed up to date lab notebooks and technical documentation
