OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE SPECTRUM...PREFERABLY HIGH SIGNAL/LOW NOISE
* #YesWeCan #ProteinWhisperer #MassAppeal
* LC-MS enthusiast who loves to make molecular elephants fly
* Good knowledge of protein chemistry and protein separations
* Hands-on experience with LC-MS data processing and characterization of proteins
* Knows how to crack the structural code of mAbs, bispecifics, ADCs, fusion proteins, enzymes, etc. … we give you an MS/MS spectrum and you'll tell us not just what the protein is, but what it had for breakfast (post-translational modifications )
* You're fluent in all three protein LC-MS dialects: top-down, middle-down and bottom-up (and you know when to use which, unlike those MS wannabees who only speak bottom-up).
* Critical mindset and good sense for initiative and attention to quality and detail
* You understand that great science requires the right balance of independence and collaboration
* Customer-minded, problem-solving mindset and flexible attitude
* Great communicator with excellent writing/reporting and reviewing skills
* Able to multitask and tackle complex scientific questions in a largely independent manner
* Translates protein science shizzle into client-friendly insights without losing scientific integrity (discussing requests, negotiating scope, presenting results)
* Dedicated to meeting project goals within scope, time and budget
* Fluent in English (written and oral)
* Ph.D. in chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, pharmacy or equivalent qualification due to experience
* A minimum of 5 years of making proteins sing (in m/z major, of course)
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING...THE SERIOUS STUFF
* You handle complex and scientifically challenging projects for our industrial (e.g. biotech and pharma) partners
* You design projects and experiments together with the customer and the commercial team.
* You ensure proper experiment planning and execution
* You process data, capture findings in reports and communicate to clients
* You manage the analysis, identification, characterization and quantification of protein-based molecules such as monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, bispecifics, ADCs, fusion proteins and enzymes, by using liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS)
* You develop and apply innovative LC-MS methodologies for in-depth protein characterization at various development stages
* You coach and train (new) team members in LC-MS based protein characterization and ensure adequate reporting to the high company standards
* You provide regular updates to clients on project progress and way forward
* You report to your Team Lead
SOUNDS COOL BUT WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
* You will be part of a privately-owned and ambitious organization at the forefront of scientific evolutions, and where "My protein won't ionize" is a valid excuse for being late to meetings
* You will work with cutting-edge biopharmaceuticals (next-gen mAbs, ADCs, bispecifics, fusion proteins, … basically the Avengers of therapeutics)
* You will receive a competitive salary in line with your responsibilities and experience (because rent doesn't pay itself in m/z ratios) and growth opportunities that won't plateau like a poorly calibrated detector
* You will join a dynamic and international team that gets excited about clean fragmentation patterns and mass accuracy < 5 ppm
