Associate Scientist
About The Position
We are looking for highly motivated Associate Scientists, to join Regeneron’s Early Career Exploration Program (ECEP). This program is a full-time opportunity for former Regeneron interns, graduating with a BS in biology, biochemistry, biophysics, chemistry, or related field to find a full-time opportunity at Regeneron post-graduation. The ECEP provides participants with the chance to explore multiple positions across Regeneron’s Research & Pre-Clinical Development (R&D) function, all while building strong foundational knowledge in biotechnology. The ECEP Experience: Participants will be placed in assignments 3-6 months in length, covering for colleagues on leave of absence, and can have opportunities to explore multiple R&pD functions. The program runs up to 2 years before participants are expected to find permanent placement. This program is intended to be a small cohort, aimed at building a strong entry-level talent pipeline for Regeneron R&pD. Participants will have a centralized manager guiding them throughout their journey, providing them with advice, mentorship and other developmental opportunities. We hope you are excited by the opportunity to work with numerous functional groups to come up with innovative approaches to tackle some of the most challenging therapeutic discovery projects being pursued at Regeneron. There is no ‘typical’ day for our ECEP participants, but below are some examples of things you may do during your assignments: Conducting basic laboratory work including pipetting, culturing, and qPCR Working with automated systems including robotic liquid handlers Maintaining cell cultures Assisting with small and large-scale protein expression using bacteria, insect cells, and other types Participating in journal clubs and data presentation Performing routine molecular biology techniques such as plasmid and bacmid purification and baculovirus production Performing protein biochemical analysis Conducting protein purification (affinity, ion exchange, and size exclusion) and biochemical and biophysical analysis Analyzing experimental data and assessing quality Writing standard operating procedures (SOPs). Maintain adequate inventory of laboratory supplies and reagents.
