Job Description
Scientist, Biologics Analytical Research & Development
Our Research Scientists are our Inventors. We identify and target steps in disease mechanisms or pathways that could be inhibited or enhanced. Our goal is to isolate a compound that is effective against a disease target. Using innovative thinking, state-of-the-art facilities and robust scientific methodology, we collaborate to discover the next medical breakthrough.
The Biologics Analytical Research & Development department of our Research & Development Division is seeking applicants for a Scientist position available at its Kenilworth, New Jersey research facility. The Scientist is a laboratory-based scientific role tasked with solving complex analytical problems at the interface of biology, chemistry, and lab informatics disciplines to enable development of Biologics drug substances and drug products. The successful candidate must function well and be able to collaborate in a fast-paced, integrated, multidisciplinary team environment. The qualified candidate will be responsible for development, qualification, implementation, troubleshooting and transfer of analytical methods for monoclonal proteins or other complex therapeutic proteins. Applicants must have effective organizational, multi-tasking, oral/written communications skills, show scientific leadership, and a desire to conduct research and publish. Evidence of strong cross-functional collaboration in an academic or industrial setting is also preferred.
