Bioprocess Analytical Chemist

The candidate will support a client group that is responsible for developing robust and efficient purification processes of recombinant proteins and other biological therapeutics from the early to late stages of development.We are seeking an analytical scientist who will work in a collaborative environment to be engaged in the analysis, monitoring, and characterization of in-process samples to support the group in improving process performance by optimizing product recovery and impurity removal. This role will provide routine analytical testing. Knowledge and expertise in analytical biochemical techniques are a must, ideally including real-time qPCR, ELISA, HPLC, and capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE). The successful candidate must be self-motivated and able to work independently, be accountable for their results and prioritize their workflow, and seek opportunities to take on new projects.Job Responsibilities and Requirements:Experience with protein chemistry, protein analytics, and bioprocess technology is requiredExpertise in analytical chemistry using a broad range of separation, chromatographic, spectroscopic, and other detection techniques to characterize and monitor the protein purification processHands-on experience and working knowledge of techniques, including but not limited to RT-qPCR, UPLC/HPLC (size-exclusion, hydrophobic, ion-exchange, affinity), ELISA, and CGEA working knowledge of Empower, control, and data analysis software is strongly preferredWork closely with colleagues by providing quality data to support product development through all clinical phases promptly; uses understanding of analytical tools to assess and interpret experimental dataMaintain written records (electronic lab notebooks and databases) of all experimental work following Good Laboratory PracticesLead in the routine calibration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of laboratory instruments, systems, or apparatus, and may interact with internal site or external vendors in the maintenance and continuous improvement of safe and effective working practices
