Job Description
The primary focus of this Associate Scientist will be to support process development, production, and characterization of early and late-stage viral vectors (lentiviral vectors and/or adeno-associated viruses). This position will be providing technical subject matter expertise with internal and/or external development and manufacturing collaborators for activities including tech transfer, process characterization, and pre-clinical or clinical process lifecycle management.
Responsibilities:
- Design, execute, and troubleshoot upstream development experiments supporting next-generation LVV production
- Identify, onboard, and develop novel upstream technologies in collaboration with internal and external partners
- Provide experimental design and executional support to team members
- Support cross-functional development efforts e.g. downstream process development, high-throughput process development
- Generate representative crude harvest material to support downstream development activities
- Work independently and within teams to design, execute, and analyze experiments
- Maintain accurate and detailed laboratory notebook and documentation
- Summarize and present data in group meetings and contribute to group discussions and team strategy
- Author technical reports and study memos
Basic Qualifications:
- B.S. with 2+ years of experience or M.S. with 0-2 years of hands-on upstream experience
- Experience with suspension culture of mammalian cells in shake flasks and small stirred tank bioreactors
- Experience with transient transfection operations to produce viral vectors (e.g. adeno-, retro-, lenti)
- Hands-on process development experience
- Independently motivated with ability to mulit-task, problem-solve, and coordinate activities within a team
- Ability to design experiments with design of experiment (DOE) approaches, perform experiments, and interpret the results using statistical software (ex. JMP)
Preferred Qualifications:
- Degree in biological or chemical engineering, biochemistry, or bio-related field
- Experience in the development of viral vectors (e.g. adeno-, retro-, lenti-), including successful transfer for GMP manufacturing
- Experience with single-use technologies.
