Scientist I/II, Multi-specific Biologics

As a Scientist I/II in the Multi-Specific Biologics Group, you will be responsible for the molecular cloning, production, and analysis of novel multi-specific biologics. A successful candidate will have experience in multiple facets of molecular biology and recombinant protein expression using mammalian and bacterial cell systems. Proficiency in protein purification and characterization utilizing laboratory automation is desired.

The candidate must have a proven track record of delivering high quality experimental data. Experience with database tools for information management would also be desirable. In addition, the candidate must be able to demonstrate individual contributions to projects and to possess strong interpersonal skills. The scientist will be expected to represent the Multispecific Biologics group and present their data in project team meetings.
