The in vivo Antibody Discovery group is a specialized team within the Protein Therapeutics function that is responsible for the discovery and optimization of biological drug candidates. We are seeking a highly motivated contingent worker to join this team, with grade level corresponding to Research Associate to Associate Scientist. This is a limited term (6-month) position, with possibility being extended or converted into full time permanent employee. The successful candidate will contribute to antibody discovery efforts as part of a cross-functional team specializing in the discovery and screening of novel biologic modalities in support of all therapeutic areas at the Company.

Job Responsibilities:

In this laboratory-based role, the successful candidate will support efforts to generate novel antibody-based therapeutics. Ideally, the applicant has a strong foundation in molecular biology, PCR, in vitro mRNA production, and molecular cloning. Job requirements:

• Drive antibody discovery by antibody sequencing/cloning, reformatting, and initial characterization.

• Design and optimize DNA constructs for in vitro mRNA immunogen production.

• Independently design, analyze and interpret experiments for the discovery and characterization of the isolated antibodies and alternate binder formats.

• Collaborate with Research Data Sciences and Discovery Sciences & Technology colleagues to support NGS-based antibody discovery and functional characterization.

• Present scientific results in multiple settings and attend project team meetings.

• Deliver scientific results for publications, patents, and regulatory submissions.
