Job Description
- Design and execute immunoassays to support antibody development and validation programs.
- Meticulous experimental planning and execution to meet program goals.
- Timely record-keeping of results into data sheets and laboratory notebooks.
- Attention to detail and adherence to schedules.
- Communicate results clearly—in team meetings, written reports, and data presentations.
- Regular mining of literature and keeping oneself up to date with developments in the field of antibody development.
- Troubleshoot technical challenges and propose practical solutions to keep projects moving.
- PhD (graduated within the last year)
- Master's degree with a minimum of 3 years of relevant research experience
- Immunoassay Applications: Demonstrated experience in immunoassay development and application testing, including ELISA, Western Blotting, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP), and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Advanced expertise in microscopy, spatial biology platforms, and multiplexed IHC/IF/ISH, with experience developing and analyzing high-content tissue imaging assays for protein expression and cellular phenotyping is highly advantageous.
- Bioinformatics, Programming & AI literacy: Proficiency in Python, R, bioinformatics/computational biology and statistical tools like Pymol, Chimera, BLAST, Alphafold, ggplot etc. Proficiency in deep learning models and/or knowledge of large language models (LLMs), prompt engineering, and experience in implementing these tools to biological questions is highly desirable.
- Molecular Biology: Solid foundation in molecular biology techniques including nucleic acid extraction, PCR, cloning, sequence analysis, and vector design.
- Cell Culture Techniques: Practical experience in standard mammalian or other specialized cell culture techniques supporting protein expression, antibody production, or related workflows.
- Antibody Development Platforms: Theoretical or practical exposure to antibody development platforms such as hybridoma, single B-cell, display technologies, or other recombinant approaches is desirable.
- Automation & High-Throughput Methods: Experience with automated liquid-handling platforms, high-content imaging or other high-throughput methodologies is advantageous.
- Scientific Communication: Track record of scientific output through peer-reviewed publications, project reports, or thesis work. A strong, independent understanding of standard and emerging trends in the field is highly preferred.
- Data Analysis & Software proficiency: Proficiency in MS Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and statistical software such as GraphPad Prism, ggplot etc. Experience with website and/or database design using various platforms such as HTML, JavaScript, ShinyR, PowerApps etc.
- Self-motivated and a proactive self-starter with a strong drive for continuous learning and process/product improvement
- An excellent communicator-both written and oral-capable of clearly conveying findings to peers, collaborators, and leadership
- A collaborative team player who works effectively with diverse colleagues across functional and organizational boundaries
- Adaptable and flexible in navigating a fast-paced, evolving research environment with shifting priorities
- Detail-oriented with a commitment to scientific rigor, schedule adherence, and data integrity
