职位描述

We are seeking a highly motivated Scientist, Biology to support pharmacokinetic (PK) bioanalysis for large molecules and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) across discovery and early development programs. This hands-on, laboratory-based role will be responsible for developing, implementing, and executing high-throughput bioanalytical methods that generate high-quality, decision-enabling data for research and development teams.

The successful candidate will work closely with cross-functional partners and contribute to advancing biologics and ADC programs through innovative bioanalytical solutions. This role is ideal for a scientifically driven individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment, demonstrates strong ownership and leadership, and is excited to expand their impact beyond bioanalysis into broader drug discovery initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the development, optimization, validation, and implementation of high-throughput bioanalytical methods supporting preclinical pharmacokinetic studies for biologics and ADCs.
  • Design, develop, and execute bioanalytical assays using ligand-binding, immunochemical, and mass spectrometry-based platforms, incorporating laboratory automation where appropriate.
  • Analyze, interpret, and communicate bioanalytical and pharmacokinetic data using industry-standard software and analytical approaches.
  • Operate, troubleshoot, and maintain analytical instrumentation, including LC-MS/MS systems and ligand-binding assay platforms.
  • Prepare and present scientific reports, technical documentation, and study summaries to internal stakeholders.
  • Partner effectively with cross-functional teams including Discovery Biology, DMPK, Bioanalytical Sciences, and Translational Research.
  • Identify opportunities to improve workflows, enhance assay performance, and expand bioanalytical capabilities through innovative approaches and technologies.
  • Contribute to broader discovery and development efforts by applying scientific expertise to complex biological questions.

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree and 6+ years of relevant experience, OR
  • Master's degree and 4+ years of relevant experience, OR
  • PhD or PharmD with relevant scientific training

Preferred Qualifications

  • Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, or a related scientific discipline.
  • 2-5 years of hands-on industry experience in bioanalysis, pharmacokinetics, or related areas.
  • Strong expertise in ligand-binding assays and bioanalytical methodologies for biologics and ADCs.
  • Hands-on experience with immunoprecipitation, enzymatic digestion, LC-MS/MS, MSD platforms, and other ligand-binding assay technologies.
  • Demonstrated experience processing biological samples and quantifying biologics, small molecules, ADCs, payloads, and metabolites, including biotransformation assessments.
  • Proficiency in pharmacokinetic data analysis software, including Phoenix WinNonlin or comparable tools.
  • Experience developing, standardizing, and implementing bioanalytical methods in a regulated research environment.
  • Experience with laboratory automation and high-throughput screening platforms.
  • Familiarity with in vitro assay development and screening technologies.
  • Working knowledge of HTS workflows using 96-, 384-, and 1536-well assay formats.
  • Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities independently while maintaining high-quality scientific output.
