Temp PhD Scientist, Immunoscreening Group

Regeneron's Immunoscreening group is looking for a temporary Scientist. We contribute to the identification of potential therapeutic antibodies and selection process of lead molecules in early discovery stage for Immunology/Inflammation and Immuno-Oncology targets. You will design and develop protein and cell-based immunoassays with high throughput capacity. We work collaboratively to design and execute target-specific antibody screening plans, compile multifaceted screening data and report findings to a cross-functional team.

The qualified candidate should have a strong background in biological sciences preferably biochemistry or immunology with hands-on experience in immunoassay development.
In this role, a typical day might include the following:

• Lead the design and optimization for immunoassays to assess antibody therapeutics functional properties.
• Develop and execute cell-binding assays to categorize the diversity of antibodies in the collection.
• Optimize assays for in-vitro characterization of lead antibodies.
• Design target-specific antibody screening plans and organize and carry out high throughput screenings according to these plans.
• Summarize antibody screening results across multiple functional groups, timely and optimally present results to a large project team.
• Work successfully in cross-functional team either as a team member or as independent contributor.

This job might be for you if:

• You have a passion for hands-on work in immunoassay development.
• You enjoy working in a fast-paced and deadline driven team environment to discover lifesaving medicines for people with serious medical conditions.
• You thrive in a collaborative work environment.

To be considered for the role, you must have a Ph.D. with 2+ years of bench experience. Background in in-vitro protein characterization, such as ligand/receptor binding characterization and quantitative potency determination, protein structure-function relationship in the field of biochemistry or immunology. Skilled in aseptic techniques and human and mouse cell culturing. Experience with immunoassay and cell-based assay development (ELISA, flowcytometry, high content imaging, functional bioassays).
