Senior Research Associate in Antibody Screening and Display
An exciting opportunity has opened for a Senior Research Associate / Associate Scientist – Antibody Screening and Display, offering scientists the chance to contribute to innovative antibody discovery programs aimed at identifying next-generation therapeutic candidates.
The successful candidate will join the Antibody Screening team and report directly to the Senior Scientist leading antibody screening and display programs. The position focuses on executing high-throughput workflows involving mammalian cell culture, transient transfections, and flow cytometry-based screening to characterize antibody candidates. The scientist will play a critical role in supporting antibody discovery pipelines by generating and analyzing high-quality experimental data that guide therapeutic antibody selection and optimization.
Ker Responsibilities
- Execute high-throughput protein expression workflows to characterize antibody samples.
- Perform flow cytometry-based assays for evaluating antibody binding and cell surface marker expression.
- Express antibodies in mammalian cell systems to support screening campaigns.
- Analyze and interpret experimental data to support antibody selection and optimization strategies.
- Troubleshoot and optimize protocols to improve experimental accuracy, reproducibility, and throughput.
- Maintain accurate experimental documentation using electronic lab notebooks.
- Present findings and contribute to internal research discussions.
Qualifications & Skills Required
- Bachelor’s degree in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or related life sciences with 5+ years of experience, or Master’s degree with 3+ years of relevant laboratory experience.
- Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience with flow cytometry.
- Strong experience in mammalian cell culture, including adherent and suspension immortalized cell lines such as Expi293 and HEK293T.
- Proven experience performing transient transfections in mammalian cell systems.
- Experience working in high-throughput experimental workflows is highly desirable.
- Experience in the Automation platforms and liquid handling systems. would be considered advantageous
- Next-generation sequencing technologies, including Illumina or 10X sequencing platforms.
- High-throughput protein purification technologies: Cytiva AKTA, Agilent HPLC, Octet BLI, Carterra SPR.
- Antibody display technologies including mammalian display, yeast display, or phage display systems.
- Experience documenting experiments using electronic lab notebook platforms such as Benchling.
