Analytical Characterization Scientist
About The Position
The Analytical Characterization Scientist plays a key role in supporting the development of biotherapeutic products through advanced analytical testing and molecular characterization. This is a hands-on, laboratory-based position focused on applying analytical chemistry techniques to evaluate biologics across the development lifecycle. This role is responsible for generating high-quality analytical data to assess molecular integrity, purity, and stability using a range of chromatographic, electrophoretic, and biophysical methods. The scientist will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to support formulation development and candidate progression from early-stage research through commercialization.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutics, Chemical/Biochemical Engineering, Biotechnology, or related scientific field
- 1+ years of industry experience with analytical chemistry techniques, preferably HPLC-based methods
- Familiarity with biologics (e.g., proteins, monoclonal antibodies, mRNA, vaccines, ADCs) and analytical methods used for their characterization
- Strong data analysis skills and attention to detail
- Authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship
Nice To Haves
- Hands-on experience with chromatography and capillary electrophoresis techniques
- Experience working with laboratory informatics systems (e.g., Empower, ELN)
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced analytical laboratory environment while contributing to team objectives
Responsibilities
- Perform analytical characterization of biotherapeutic molecules using a variety of techniques, including: HPLC-based methods (SE-HPLC, IEX, HIC, RP-HPLC), Capillary electrophoresis (CGE, iCE), Spectroscopic and biophysical characterization techniques, Particulate analysis (light obscuration, microflow imaging)
- Generate, analyze, and interpret complex datasets to assess product quality attributes such as purity, heterogeneity, and stability
- Support formulation and process development by providing analytical insights on candidate molecules
- Compile and present analytical data for internal stakeholders; contribute to technical reports and documentation
- Utilize laboratory data systems such as Empower and electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) for data management and integrity
- Maintain laboratory operations, including equipment upkeep, reagent management, and participation in continuous improvement initiatives
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including formulation scientists, process development, and project management
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical coverage, dental, and vision options
- Life and disability insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid vacation and holidays
