POSITION SUMMARY
A position is available for a bioanalytical scientist to join a protein mass spectrometry laboratory lab in Pharmacokinetics Dynamics and Metabolism department. The lab based role will focus on small scale preparation of biological samples such as cells tissues or plasma for subsequent mass spectrometry measurement. This includes lysis protein immunoprecipitation using beads and antibodies protein digestions filtration pre-concentrations of proteins and peptide digests. The successful candidate is detail-oriented and following training can operate independently. This position requires demonstrated experience in successfully executing complex bioanalytical procedures. Expertise in immunoanalytical workflows and in protein biochemistry or proteomics techniques is a plus. We are looking for a scientist passionate about learning and quickly applying new skills to project needs.
