The Role
In this role, as a Scientist, you will work with the Analytical Development and Protein Science groups. The Scientist will be responsible for developing analytical bioassays for enzymatic activity assays, with an emphasis on HPLC, LC-MS assays and/or plate-based fluorometric/colorimetric assays for enzymes with small-molecule substrates and cell-based assays for enzymes with protein substrates. This individual will work closely with colleagues in Technical Development and the Therapeutic Areas to develop and transfer methods that will ultimately be used in quality-controlled assays to characterize mRNA/LNP drug products. In addition to designing and executing experiments, the candidate will interpret experimental findings and communicate results within and across teams.
Heres What Youll Do Develop and qualify HPLC-UV and LC-MS-based enzyme activity assays for the detection of small molecules. Develop and qualify plate-based fluorometric/colorimetric assays for the detection of small molecules. Develop and qualify cell-based assays for enzymes with protein substrates. Document experiments clearly and thoroughly in lab notebooks, protocols, and white papers, to enable effective transfer of assays between groups. Work closely with therapy area colleagues across Moderna and with Technical Development to transfer methods for use in quality control assays (biochemical and cell-based). Heres What Youll Need (Basic Qualifications) PhD in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Chemical Engineering (or a closely related field) or MSc with at least 5 years of industry experience in developing bioassays, HPLC-UV or LC-MS assays. Experience in designing, executing and analyzing scientific experiments. Experience with HPLC-UV, LC-MS and LC-MS/MS methods development. Heres What Youll Bring to the Table (Preferred Qualifications) Hands on experience with cell based bioassay development. Strong interpersonal skills in a dynamic setting. Ability to work independently on complex experiments. Ability to collaborate closely with multiple cross-functional project teams. Ability to multi-task to meet technology development and research goals. Strong quantitative analysis skills as well as excellent written and oral communication. Knowledge of cGMP, USP and ICH guidelines as they relate to assay development and qualification. Adherence to industry best practices for data documentation. Candidate will be curious in understanding key scientific questions and tailoring analytical assays to answer them, and bold in trying new analytical approaches. Will work collaboratively with multifunctional teams and will be relentless in solving technical problems of separation and detection.Moderna is pleased to provide you and your family with a comprehensive and innovative suite of benefits, including:Highly competitive and inclusive medical, dental and vision coverage optionsFlexible Spending Accounts for medical expenses and dependent care expensesLifestyle Spending Account funds to help you engage in personal enrichment and self-care activitiesFamily care benefits, including subsidized back-up care options and on-demand tutoringFree premium access to fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness classesExclusive preferred pricing on Peloton fitness equipmentAdoption and family-planning benefitsDedicated care coordination support for our LGBTQ+ communityGenerous paid time off, including:
