Biologist II

Responsibilities:

• The selected candidate will execute hands-on scientific research involving screening of recombinant tools and therapeutic proteins, including antigens, antibodies and other biologics molecules.
• The selected candidate will perform biological and biochemical assays (such as Flow Cytometry, ELISA, and WES) to characterize biologics molecules.
• The selected candidate will perform functional assays to generate data and further our understanding of drug and target biology.
• The selected candidate will culture and maintain relevant mammalian cell lines (adherent and suspension) as required to support biological and functional assays.
• The selected candidate will summarize and graph experimental data, keep accurate electronic records of experiments and activities, and present findings internally as needed.
• The selected candidate will work closely with scientists in the Biotherapeutics and Genetic Medicine organization and relevant project teams wherever appropriate.
• The position requires creativity, adaptability, quantitative thinking, and focus on pursuit of project team goals.

Requirements:

• BS or MS in molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, or other relevant biological sciences.
• Experience Level = 3-5 Years.
• Strong knowledge and hands-on experience in mammalian cell culture, molecular biology, and assays such as Flow Cytometry , ELISA, and WES (or traditional Western blot).
• Ability to work independently on assigned research tasks, anticipate problems and propose potential solutions.
• Ability to work in a demanding and intellectually challenging environment, and teamwork across multiple scientific disciplines and functions.
• Knowledge of aging biology, age-related diseases, cancer biology, and/or biologics is nice to have.
