This individual will play a key role in the design, development, and optimization of novel antibody therapeutics, supporting early-stage discovery efforts and contributing to the advancement of candidates into development. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in antibody discovery technologies, molecular biology, and protein engineering. This is a lab-focused role requiring deep technical expertise and scientific creativity. 

Key Responsibilities : 

• Design, clone, and express monoclonal, bi- and multi-specific antibodies for characterization, optimization, and functional screening. 

• Engineer antibodies for enhanced functionality (e.g., Fc engineering, bispecifics, affinity maturation, humanization). 

• Design and execute high-throughput screening assays (binding, kinetics, epitope binning, cell-based functional assays). 

• Investigate signal transduction by phosphorylation, gene regulation, cell differentiation and proliferation, and flow cytometry. 

• Analyze protein structure for functional optimization and apply computational tools to accelerate discovery. 

• Troubleshoot experiments, analyze complex data, and propose innovative solutions. 

• Stay current with emerging technologies and trends in antibody discovery and protein engineering to help drive innovation. 
  
   

Qualifications : 

• PhD in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Immunology, or a related field with 5+ years industry experience in antibody discovery and protein engineering. 

• Proven hands-on experience with antibody generation platforms (e.g., display technologies, hybridoma, B-cell cloning). 

• Strong molecular biology skills, including cloning, vector design, and construct optimization. 

• Expertise in protein expression (mammalian and/or bacterial), purification, and biophysical analysis. 

• Familiarity with structure analysis and computational tools for antibody modeling, sequence analysis, and developability prediction is a plus. 

• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. 

 
Expected Salary Range : $142,000 - $158,000
