Apply to Senior Associate, Biophysical Characterization of Proteins – (JP9919)
Job Title: Senior Associate, Biophysical Characterization of Proteins – (JP9919)
Location: Thousand Oaks, CA.
Employment Type: Contract
Business Unit: Biological Relevance and Charactization
Duration: 1+ years (with likely extensions)
Notes: 100% onsite. Local candidate. $24 - $28 per hour.
Posting Date: 03/08/2022
3 Key Consulting is hiring a Senior Associate for a consulting engagement with our direct client, a leading global biopharmaceutical company.
Job Description:
The successful candidate will perform sample preparation, testing, methods development, and characterization particularly for the assessment of the molecular weight of size variants by either SEC-MALS (HPLC coupled with light scattering detection) or AUC (analytical ultracentrifugation) for biopharmaceutical products. Activities could also include the characterizing of higher order structure by spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR, Circular dichroism or DSC. The overall objective will be to support comparability and similarity studies, technology development efforts, and non-routine investigations. Other duties include sample preparation, complex data analyses, generation of technical documents and technical presentations, and setting of acceptance criteria in support of process development, process/method transfers, and comparability/similarity studies. The position requires demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with other scientists, and to have the capacity to be flexible and adaptive to changing priorities.
Why is the Position Open?
