Job Description for Temporary Contract Employee (TCE)

Proposed start date of TCE : last week of September/ first week of October 2012 temporary replacement

The candidate will join the Protein Science and Structure team which is responsible for the expression, purification and characterization of a variety of reagents and protein therapeutics.  As a member of a team involved in the early stages of discovery, the position requires close collaboration with molecular biologists and structural biologists as well as scientists working in the various disease biology and translational areas within preclinical research.

The successful candidate should be able to independently design, execute, assess and improve strategies to produce high-quality proteins. She or he will also be responsible for assessing protein quality using a variety of analytical techniques.  Skills and experience in several of the following techniques are required analytical size exclusion chromatography, SPR, calorimetry, mass spectrometry, light scattering, western blot, and equilibrium binding analysis.

The candidate will be responsible for analyzing data and maintaining accurate and detailed written records and notebooks.
The candidate must be self-motivated, detail-oriented and exhibit strong problem solving skills.  In addition, the successful candidate should be a clear and effective communicator, demonstrating strong interpersonal skills to enable collaboration with project teams, peers, and management in identifying and achieving research goals.

Summary of Qualifications Sought:

*   BS or MS in Biochemistry, or related field. Industry experience preferred but not required.

*   Experience in protein characterization:  biophysical techniques to include analytical size exclusion chromatography (SEC and SEC-MALS) and Surface Plasmon Resonance highly sought.  Experience in other biophysical techniques including calorimetry (ITC and/or DSC), circular dichroism, mass spectrometry is a strong plus. TECAN liquid handler experience and small scale protein purification a plus.

*   Expertise in recombinant protein purification using chromatography principles (affinity, ion exchange, and size exclusion). Experience with using semi automated chromatography systems (e.g. AKTA / FPLC) sought.

*   Ability to independently troubleshoot FPLC and other purification systems and protocols a plus.

*   Good listener. Strong, concise, and consistent written and oral communication required.

Keyword Skills:
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), protein binding assays, AKTA, FPLC, Protein Mass Spectroscopy, Analytical size exclusion chromatography, E coli expression, Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), TECAN liquid handler,  Light scattering (e.g. MALS).
