Position Summary:

The ideal candidate will have a blend of broad experience that spans chemistry, biochemistry, proteomics, and biopharmaceutical production. Experience in, or an understanding of, material science, polymer science, and chemical engineering are considered a plus.

As a crucial member of the Market Development Applications Team in the role of Applications Sr/Scientist, your impact will be felt through the meticulous design and execution of experiments in laboratory and large-scale chromatographic resins applications with emphasis on biomolecule purification processes. Your ability to articulate complex technical information with diverse audiences will be the bridge between our products and our customers, both internal and external. You will support the generation of commercial enablement tools. This role, and the team, will work closely with various product marketing groups, product managers, sales specialist, support specialists, market development, informatics, and other commercial divisions.

Responsibilities:

• Design, execute and analyze chromatography purification processes which highlight the features of process chromatography resins and the Chromatography System.
• Analyze purified products for host cell DNA and protein content, yield, and functional activity as warranted.
• Perform data analysis and effectively communicate results to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Work collaboratively with members of the applications and other teams to collectively achieve shared objectives.
• As a subject matter expert, you will provide valuable insight and direction when interfacing with internal and external stakeholders on chromatography experiential design, process, bridging, optimization, scale-up, downstream analysis, and troubleshooting.
• Engage collaboratively with global strategic selling divisions to enhance customer engagement and adoption of chromatography products.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to prepare customer facing enablement tools including application notes, technical notes, presentations, assays, webinars, posters, publications, and presentations, etc.

Requirements:

Education:
