Scientist, Antibody Engineering, In Vivo Discovery

Adimab•Lebanon, NH

About The Position

Adimab is the leading technology provider for therapeutic antibody drug discovery, focusing solely on our partnerships without pursuing an internal product pipeline. Since 2009, we have partnered with over 140 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, generating more than 650 therapeutic programs, of which more than 85 have entered clinical trials. Role Overview: We are seeking an experienced immunologist/bioengineer with background in mammalian immunization and single B cell cloning to join our drug discovery team. The successful candidate will play a key role in antibody drug discovery projects and developing novel technologies for the discovery of antibody therapeutics. This individual will be expected to lead and support a range of projects related to antibody discovery and optimization, developability analysis, B cell cloning, library development, reagent design, immunization techniques, and commercial platform development. Come join us! Our integrated antibody discovery and engineering platform provides unprecedented speed from antigen to purified, full-length human IgGs with exquisite specificity and biophysical behavior. We offer fundamental advantages by delivering diverse panels of antibodies that meet the most demanding standards for affinity, epitope specificity, species cross-reactivity, and developability. We enable our partners to rapidly expand their biologics pipelines through a broad spectrum of technology access arrangements. As a profitable privately-held biotech company, we take a long-term view on value creation and make substantial investments in technology development, research, and our people. We offer individually tailored compensation packages comprised of a competitive salary, meaningful equity, a 2:1 401(k) match, and comprehensive health care benefits. Located in New Hampshire’s beautiful Upper Connecticut River Valley, we are minutes from Dartmouth College, the Geisel School of Medicine, the Thayer School of Engineering, the Tuck School of Business, and the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. We are fortunate to be situated in an area that is renowned for its premier skiing, hiking, kayaking, and biking.
