About this job

As world leaders in antibody drug discovery and development, our client offers a unique opportunity to use cutting edge technologies to help shape the delivery of the next-generation antibody therapeutics.

Using your practical laboratory-based experience, you will join the Antibody Discovery team to support improved delivery solutions for gene therapy vectors. You will achieve this by utilising the company’s proprietary single B cell technologies, to discover high quality antibodies, and apply antibody-based engineering techniques.

Key responsibilities:

• Use in vitro assays and in vivo models to validate novel gene therapy vectors
• Present experimental data at cross-functional meetings
• Work collaboratively across departments and project teams to align strategies and delivering expected timelines
• Be proactive in reviewing new technologies in the field to introduce advances in gene therapy engineering and antibody discovery that will impact your project

The ideal candidate will have:

• A PhD in relevant subject with a good understanding of immunology, gene therapy and/or antibody discovery/characterisation
• A strong understanding and practical experience of cell culture and molecular biology techniques (e.g. PCR and cloning)
• Experience of developing functional in vitro cell-based screens
• Expertise in antibody discovery technologies (e.g. hybridoma, phage display, B cell culture, flow cytometry)
• Excellent organisation, communication and inter-personal skills to effectively collaborate across departments

This is an exciting opportunity for a bright and enthusiastic scientist to join this company’s prestigious 18 month Postdoctoral research programme. If you believe you are a good fit, apply with VRS today!
