The role involves implementing and developing analytical methods, analyzing data, and collaborating with teams to support biopharma development efforts.
Our mission at Asimov is to advance humanity's ability to design living systems, enabling biotechnologies with outsized benefit to society. We're developing a mammalian synthetic biology platform––from cells to software––to enable the design and manufacture of next-generation therapeutics.
We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Associate Scientist, Analytical Development (Contractor) to join our Analytical Sciences team on a 6-month contract. In this role, you will implement, qualify, and develop analytical methods to support the characterization of antibodies and other novel modalities. You will also provide support for process analytics and drug product analysis. Successful candidates will demonstrate knowledge of analytical techniques, contribute to multiple research directions with a high level of autonomy, and possess strong problem-solving skills, decision-making abilities, and excellent oral and written communication skills.
About the Role:
- Implement, optimize, and qualify analytical methods, including LC, CE, MS, and biophysical characterization techniques to support research and development efforts at Asimov; perform sample preparation, in-depth antibody characterization, and cell culture media profiling, etc.
- Execute experiments, analyze data, interpret results, and translate findings into actionable experimental plans with minimal guidance to support process analytics and drug product analysis and ensure quality and consistency.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams and effectively communicate analytical results and insights.
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously, adhering to timelines and maintaining regular communication with team members and stakeholders.
- Continuously improve technical skills, contribute ideas for improvements, participate in efficiency enhancement initiatives, and assist in the preparation of technical reports, presentations, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
- Maintain accurate laboratory notebooks and electronic records, adhering to Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and safety protocols.
- This role will begin as a full-time, 6 month contract. Dependent on business needs, there is potential for the contract to be extended or converted into a permanent position.
About You:
- B.S. or M.S. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biological Engineering, Molecular and Cellular Biology, or a closely related discipline, with 2-4 years of relevant experience in the biopharma industry.
- Hands-on experience in analytical techniques (CE, HPLC/UPLC, UV, MS, etc.) and sample preparation methodologies.
- Experience with high-throughput sample handling, affinity-based purification, enzymatic digestion, and other advanced sample preparation techniques is a plus.
- Proficiency in data analysis and interpretation, with the ability to use statistical tools and software for data trending.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex data clearly and concisely to diverse audiences.
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment, with strong attention to detail and excellent organizational skills.
- Basic understanding of regulatory requirements in analytical development and quality control principles.
- Aptitude for troubleshooting analytical instruments and methods, with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
We're fueled by a vision to transform biological engineering into a fully-fledged engineering discipline. Should you join our team, you will grow with a constantly evolving organization and push the frontiers of synthetic biology. Company culture is key to Asimov, and ours is a culture of recombination; we believe that our mission can only be achieved by bringing together a diverse team with a mixture of backgrounds and perspectives.
