Research Associate II, Protein Sciences

Seeking a Research Associate II, Protein Sciences to support biologics discovery through recombinant protein expression, purification, and characterization . This role will collaborate with cross-functional teams to produce high-quality protein reagents, optimize laboratory workflows, and contribute to innovative therapeutic discovery programs in a fast-paced research environment. Responsibilities Perform recombinant antibody and protein expression using mammalian cell culture systems. Execute protein purification using AKTA/FPLC and chromatography methods, including affinity, ion exchange, and size exclusion chromatography. Support high-throughput and large-scale protein production across multiple research programs. Conduct protein characterization using analytical techniques such as CE-SDS, SEC, and DSF. Collaborate with research, automation, and informatics teams to improve workflow efficiency and scalability. Troubleshoot and optimize protein expression, purification, and analytical processes. Maintain accurate laboratory documentation, sample tracking, and inventory records. Qualifications BS or MS in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Protein Sciences, Chemical Biology, or a related field. 2+ years of laboratory experience in protein sciences, biologics, or antibody discovery. Hands-on experience with recombinant protein expression, purification, and mammalian cell culture. Proficiency with AKTA/FPLC systems and chromatography-based purification methods. Familiarity with protein characterization techniques such as SDS-PAGE and SEC. Experience with high-throughput workflows and exposure to biophysical characterization methods is preferred. #J-18808-Ljbffr
