Senior Proteomics Scientist Group Leader

This scientist has a proven track record of cellular and molecular proteomics, analytical chemistry and/or biochemistry to play a key supporting role in the MS-based proteomics group in the Exploratory Biomarkers team. The scientist will contribute to the development of proteomic workflows using robotics and automated liquid handlers with the outcome to accelerating and alleviating the manual-intensive aspects of sample prep increasing throughput and depth. The candidate will apply new and established workflows to biological systems and various sample types (tissues, biofluids and cells) for biomarker discovery and mechanism of action studies.

Responsibilities

Contribute to innovative therapeutic platforms and apply cutting-edge proteomic technologies for disease profiling and biomarker discovery; Generate proteomic datasets for disease profiling and mechanism of action studies; Assist in instrument troubleshooting, maintenance and repairs; Work with cross-functional teams and across different therapeutic areas and academic collaborators on these projects; Contribute to the development of proteomic workflows using robotics and automated liquid handlers; Apply new and established workflows to biological systems and various sample types (tissues, biofluids and cells) for biomarker discovery and mechanism of action studies

Requirements

MS and 3+ years or equivalent, BS with 5+ years relevant lab experience in biochemistry, proteomics, analytical chemistry, or related field in academic, pharma or biotech industry, or PhD with 0-1 years postgraduate experience; Hands-on experience with proteomics, minimum 1 year of hands-on lab experience; Quick to learn new systems and processes, with a focus on continuous improvement; Strong organizational and communication skills with a high attention to detail; Able to conduct experiments and analyze data independently; Strong time management skills; Good team player; Skilled at managing multiple priorities and building strong cross-functional relationships; Able to help maintain various lab instruments; Proficiency in Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Excel, Word); Authorization to work in the country indefinitely without sponsorship

Nice to have

Experience using an electronic lab notebook; Cell Culture experience; Experience communicating results in small group meetings and/or in reports; Sample preparation of limited tissue samples with Ultrasensitive proteomics; Hands-on targeted proteomic approaches; Hands-on co-immunoprecipitations, affinity-based protein profiling, chemoproteomics; Analysis of proteomic data sets, coding experience in R or Python
