The role supports drug discovery and development across multiple therapeutic programs through innovative mass spectrometry-based workflows and cross-functional collaboration.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, optimize, and execute quantitative LC-MS assays measuring target proteins, abundance, engagement, and turnover
  • Design and implement innovative bioanalytical strategies supporting drug-target interaction mechanistic understanding
  • Apply mass spectrometry workflows to assess samples from plasma, tissue, and in vitro systems
  • Troubleshoot assay development, sample preparation, data quality, and instrument performance independently
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to interpret bioanalytical data and communicate results clearly

Requirements

  • Doctorate in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or related discipline with strong LC-MS training
  • Master's degree with 4+ years of relevant LC-MS bioanalysis experience, or Bachelor's with 6+ years
  • Hands-on expertise in LC-MS method development for complex biological matrices
  • Experience with proteomics workflows including peptide mapping and protein-drug adduct identification
  • Proficiency with automated sample preparation platforms and LC-MS instruments (triple quadrupole, Q-TOF, Orbitrap)
  • Strong troubleshooting and independent problem-solving abilities for analytical methods
  • Excellent communication and data interpretation skills for multidisciplinary teams

Compensation: $143,820.85–$194,581.15 USD
