Job description

Duration: 10 months contract

Shift: Monday-Friday, approximately 8:00 AM-5:00 PM

Job Description

• The ideal candidate is a hands-on bioanalytical Scientist with strong large-molecule experience and demonstrated expertise in ligand-binding assays, particularly ELISA and/or ECL, including method development and validation.
• The candidate should have experience working in a GxP-regulated pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or CRO laboratory and bring strong documentation, data analysis, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills.
• The strongest candidates will be collaborative, detail-oriented, adaptable, quick learners who can successfully multitask in a dynamic laboratory environment, independently manage their scientific responsibilities, and provide appropriate experimental guidance to junior analysts.
• Candidates with solely LC-MS experience and no ligand-binding assay background are not the target profile.
• The Pharmacokinetics, Drug Metabolism & Bioanalytical (PKDM-BA) organization is dedicated to advancing the discovery and development of innovative, safe, and effective medicines.
• Scientists within PKDM-BA collaborate closely with cross-functional partners, including protein therapeutics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, pharmaceutical sciences, clinical pharmacology, and regulatory affairs.
• Together, they support the identification of promising therapeutic candidates, preclinical development, clinical evaluation, and regulatory submissions.
• We are seeking a highly motivated scientist to develop, validate, and implement robust bioanalytical methods for quantifying large-molecule biotherapeutics.
• These methods will support both nonclinical and clinical research programs.

Key Responsibilities

• Participate in the execution of experiments to support development, validation, and implementation of bioanalytical methods for large-molecule therapeutics, including oligonucleotides, in clinical and nonclinical samples.
• Contribute to protocol optimization, troubleshooting, and assay improvement activities to support robust, reliable, and transferable bioanalytical methods.
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to support non‑clinical and clinical bioanalytical needs across drug development programs.

Preferred Qualifications

• 4+ years of laboratory experience.
• Experience in immunology, immunochemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, or related disciplines.
• Working knowledge of GxP regulations and bioanalytical requirements in drug development.
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to integrate complex data to advance drug discovery and development programs.
• Proven ability to communicate scientific concepts effectively to audiences with varying levels of technical expertise.
• Demonstrated commitment to scientific excellence and innovation.
• Track record of contributing as a lead author on peer-reviewed publications.

Must Have Skill Sets

• Immunoassay knowledge
• Working knowledge of GxP regulations
