- Work collaboratively and communicate clearly with interdisciplinary teams, including structural biologists, protein chemists, in vitro pharmacologists, medicinal and computational chemists, project management to advance pipeline projects
- Clearly communicate protein production and characterization plans, priorities, results and timelines to varied audiences
- PhD degree in a scientific discipline (Structural Biology, Biophysics, Biochemistry/Enzymology, Protein Chemistry); MS with 6+ years or BS with 8+ years industry experience also considered; industry experience highly desirable
- Demonstrated track record of successful hands-on high-quality protein production (construct design, cloning, expression, purification, optimization, characterization) of protein reagents, antigens and/or antibodies or other biologics therapeutics for drug discovery teams
- Experience in protein production utilizing contract research organizations highly desirable
- Success in design, expression and purification of membrane proteins and/or multi-protein complexes as well as knowledge of and/or experience in structural biology methodologies, biochemical and/or biophysical assays highly desirable
- Passion for learning and advancing protein production capabilities and drug discovery pipelines, including proactive investigation of new techniques and capabilities, advanced software / hardware and innovative experimental approaches
- Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, matrixed environment with a collaborative and proactive mindset, motivated by a desire to create therapeutic molecules for the benefit of patients in need worldwide
