Senior Scientist, Membrane Protein Biochemistry

Senior Scientist, Membrane Protein Biochemistry What You Will Do In this vital role you will be part of an innovative integrative Protein Generation group within Discovery Protein Science, with responsibilities including the design of strategies for recombinant production of polytopic membrane protein (MP) targets, their purification, and detailed analytical characterization. The role will also include opportunities to develop MP platforms and capabilities that increase the success rates of large‑molecule and small‑molecule therapeutic discovery programs. Key Responsibilities Independently devise and implement state‑of‑the‑art membrane protein production strategies through conducting laboratory experiments with rigorous documentation and emphasis on quality of deliverables. Analyze and interpret scientific data with the intent to communicate results to audiences with diverse scientific backgrounds. Collaborate with other scientists to plan methodological approaches, necessary resources, timelines, and milestones to drive defined projects forward. Keep current in membrane protein expertise, advise supervisors and colleagues to shape future membrane protein technology development strategies, and mentor junior scientists and technical staff. What We Expect Of You The Senior Scientist we seek is a researcher with the following qualifications. Basic Qualifications Doctorate degree PhD or PharmD or MD with relevant post‑doctoral experience. Masters degree and 3 years of relevant laboratory experience. Bachelors degree and 5 years of relevant laboratory experience. Preferred Qualifications Ph.D. plus relevant postdoctoral experience. Flexible problem‑solving skills, evidenced by a consistent track record of scientific accomplishments such as peer‑reviewed publications and/or patents. Proven expertise with KTA systems and analytical methods for membrane protein characterization using quality‑focused analytical methods such as HPLC/UPLC (SEC, fSEC), spectroscopy, or mass spectrometry. Proven expertise in structural biology or dissection of MP molecular pharmacology is a plus. Excellent communication skills (both written and oral), leadership skills, and the ability to work well in teams in a fast‑paced environment. Benefits A comprehensive employee benefits package, including Retirement and Savings Plan, group medical, dental and vision coverage, life and disability insurance, and flexible spending accounts.
