Our company is committed to bringing transformational medicines to patients, and you will collaborate in a matrixed environment with other passionate functional experts to deliver novel biotherapeutics.

You will be responsible for the development and fit-for-purpose validation of bioanalytical methods to be applied in sample analysis for molecules in discovery and development phases. Your work will support the characterization of multiple molecules and modalities, including multi-specific NBEs, antibody-drug conjugates, antibody oligonucleotide conjugates (AOCs), and other biologics, from molecule design through preclinical and clinical phases, thus fulfilling internal and regulatory requirements.

Representative technologies could include innovative immunochemical and ligand binding techniques such as ELISA, MSD-ECLA, Gyrolab, and others. Additional duties will include development of complex experimental study designs, interpretation of analytical data, good knowledge of immunogenicity, and technical report writing according to current company and industry standards.

You will be responsible for ensuring timely delivery, with appropriate quality, of LBA bioanalytical deliverables (method development, qualification, and its application to in-vivo animal studies), and if needed, responsible for conducting/supervising critical reagent characterization. You will be able to recommend data decisions to the lab manager by providing solid results, findings and technical solutions to project issues/problems.

You will be able to conduct scientific literature research to address complex technical issues and evaluate and implement potential new analytical strategies and technologies as needed. You may also be responsible for monitoring bioanalytical studies at contract research organizations (CROs).</span></p><p style="margin: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></strong></p><p style="margin: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who You Are</span></strong></p><p style="margin: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Minimum Qualifications:</span></strong></p><ul style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0cm;" type="disc"><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, or related field, with expertise in PK, bioanalytics, immunogenicity, and/or relevant sciences.</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Experience with biological molecules (NBEs, ADCs, AOCs, other novel modalities).</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Experience with ligand binding techniques such as ELISA, MSD-ECLA, Gyrolab, and related.</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Excellent experimental design and troubleshooting skills, and excellent data analysis & data mining skills.</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Experience using, optimizing, and troubleshooting the performance of laboratory instrumentations.</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Able to conduct appropriate experiments and manage work hours and priorities to meet project timelines.</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Experience reviewing bioanalytical methods, qualifications, validations, and bioanalytical study reports.</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Knowledge of Watson LIMS, GraphPad Prism, Veeva Vault and/or related software.</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5-7+ of professional experience in regulated bioanalysis, supporting drug discovery and/or development projects</span></li><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fluent spoken and written English</span></li></ul><p style="margin: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"> </p><p style="margin: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Preferred Qualifications:</span></strong></p><ul style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0cm;" type="disc"><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Solid understanding of translational sciences, regulatory requirements and work packages for biotherapeutics (nonclinical and clinical).</span></li></ul><ul style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0cm;" type="disc"><li style="margin-top: 0.0cm; margin-right: 0.0cm; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">General knowledge of disease areas (e.g.
