The successful candidate will have a solid understanding of protein biochemistry and molecular biology. Experience in structural biology is advantageous.


This is a 6-month contract position with the possibility of turning into a full-time role depending on business needs.


CHARACTERISTIC DUTIES

  • Developing and executing strategies to clone and express recombinant proteins in a variety of cell culture systems
  • Purifying tagged or native proteins using standard purification (FPLC systems and column chromatography) and analytical techniques (SDS-PAGE, Western blot, light scattering, and protein LC/MS)
  • With training, produce high quality protein crystal structures and co-crystal structures, carrying out the process from crystallization screening through to structure refinement
  • Supporting the crystallographic pipeline through protein design, expression, purification, and biophysical characterization
  • Demonstrating the ability to interpret experimental outcomes and proposing follow-up studies
  • Documenting work, managing, analyzing and effectively presenting results to multi-disciplinary project teams
  • Working in partnership with team members and collaborators to best achieve results


QUALIFICATIONS

  • B.S. or M.S. in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics or a related life science field with 0-2 years research experience in an academic or industrial setting
  • Experience with molecular cloning and vector construction, bacterial expression, and protein purification through conventional and affinity-based chromatographic approaches is desired
  • Experience in the functional characterization of recombinant proteins and biophysical characterization of protein-protein and/or protein-small molecule interactions is desired
  • Knowledge in protein crystallography, cryo-EM, or NMR is advantageous
  • A proven record of successful communication and interaction with project team members, external customers or vendors is advantageous


The successful candidate will be a results-focused, team-oriented scientist able to excel in a fast-track environment across multiple projects. They must be accountable, self-motivated, detail-oriented and exhibit problem solving skills.
