  • Support method development, optimization, qualification, validation, and troubleshooting activities.
  • Document experimental procedures, data, and results in high-quality laboratory notebooks in accordance with SOPs and internal standards.
  • Coordinate and communicate with stakeholders of multiple experiments. 
About You
  • Hold a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry or closely related field, with 2+ years of industry experience. Candidates without a degree but with similar industry experience are encouraged to apply. 
  • Experience supporting analytical development activities for biologics is strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience operating HPLC/UPLC systems for protein therapeutic analysis and interpreting chromatographic data.
  • Hands-on experience operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting HPLC/UPLC instrumentation, ideally Agilent systems with OpenLab CDS. 
  • Familiarity with ICH guidelines and GMP/GxP environments is a plus.
  • Familiarity with the development and implementation of CE and cIEF is a plus. 
  • Excited to work with internal and external clients to deliver project excellence.
  • Have strong communication skills and comfortable sharing knowledge at multiple levels of technical detail.
$40 - $48 an hour
