About The Position

Requirements

• Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Physical Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Analytical Chemistry, Chemical Biology, or a related discipline; or a master's degree with 4 or more years of relevant experience; or a bachelor's degree with 6 or more years of relevant experience.

Nice To Haves

• At least 3 years of hands-on experience applying mass spectrometry to proteomics and protein-characterization applications.
• Experience operating multiple mass spectrometry platforms and analyzing data generated from those systems.
• Experience with sample preparation and workflows for host cell protein profiling, post-translational modification characterization, and relative protein quantitation.
• Proficiency in interpreting and statistically analyzing large proteomics data sets using appropriate data-analysis software and workflows.
• Strong critical thinking, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience working with viral vectors, biologics, cell therapy products, or other complex biological matrices.
• Experience with orthogonal particle characterization technologies, such as dynamic light scattering (DLS), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and imaging-based methods such as electron microscopy or flow imaging.
• Working knowledge of analytical development, method qualification, data integrity, and documentation expectations in a regulated biopharmaceutical environment.
• Strong collaboration, interpersonal, verbal, written, and presentation skills.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, adaptable, and comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute mass spectrometry studies to assess viral vector and cell therapy final-product attributes.
• Perform in-house studies on biological samples, including characterization of host cell proteins, post-translational modifications, and relative protein abundance.
• Develop and apply mass spectrometry methods, and troubleshoot instrumentation, sample preparation, and data-processing workflows.
• Analyze and interpret complex data sets, identify trends and limitations, and present conclusions and recommendations to cross-functional teams.
• Author, review, and edit technical documents, including study plans, SOPs, protocols, and reports.
• Maintain accurate, timely, and traceable experimental documentation in electronic laboratory notebooks and technical reports.
• Collaborate with Cell and Vector Attribute Sciences teams to inform product-characterization and product-knowledge strategies that advance pipeline programs.
• Stay current with analytical platforms, cell and gene therapy industry practices, and emerging innovations relevant to viral vector and cell therapy products.
• Contribute to a safe, compliant, inclusive, and collaborative laboratory environment.
• Own assigned deliverables, timelines, documentation, and coordination with key partners.
• Share expertise and contribute to team problem solving and continuous improvement.
