Lansdale, Pennsylvania, United States American Cybersystems, Inc. Full time

Job Description:

We currently have an opportunity for a scientist to join our team in Varicella bulk vaccine manufacturing, within the Merck Manufacturing Division (MMD), supporting a new PAT (process analytical technology) lab and laboratory operations.

A successful candidate must have problem-solving and troubleshooting skills, as well as an interest in understanding how cell expansion and viral propagation impact the manufacturing process and vice versa.

In this role, the candidate will take responsibility for routine assay execution, laboratory maintenance, maintaining GMP documentation, and proactive process and assay monitoring of the Varicella zoster virus propagation process.

Furthermore, the candidate must be able to work efficiently in a high paced environment, collaborate well with others, and have excellent interpersonal skills.

Primary activities include but are not limited to the following:

  • Conduct a real-time flow cytometry assay in support of increased manufacturing process control and consistency in viral growth kinetics.
  • Participate in the transfer of process analytical technologies (PAT) to cGMP manufacturing facilities, and support implementation and operations in the new PAT laboratory.
  • Support routine laboratory operations, cleaning, supply ordering, and preventative maintenance.
  • Support proactive process monitoring through assay and process data collection, GMP laboratory experiments (e.g., viral growth curves), etc.
  • Characterize existing processes, identify key sources of variability, and identify potential process improvements.
  • Conduct laboratory experiments to support technical investigations and implement sustainable long-term solutions.
