Project Leader Enzymatic Bioconjugation

To advance in the development of enzymes to be used in the manufacturing of biologics, we are hiring a Project Leader in enzymatic Bioconjugation. The successful candidate will have a solid background in protein chemistry and biochemistry. 

We offer a stimulating and rewarding work environment where you will have the opportunity to make a real impact on the future of Biologics development. If you are looking for a new step in your career, we encourage you to apply.

Responsibilities

·       Development of enzymatic bioconjugation methods by applying INOFEA’s technology.

·       Plan, prioritize, and perform work independently and according to the project plans.

·       Project management to ensure operational excellence and awareness of timelines, resource requirements for execution of the studies.

·       Development of enzymes in collaboration with customers

o   Planning of projects

o   Project completion in line with resources planned, including enzyme activity & stability confirmation, sample preparation.

o   Trouble shooting and root-cause finding.

o   Provide technical support to customers.

o   Reporting of projects.

·       Identification of novel solutions for customer needs

·       Supporting Scientific lab associate(s) by investing 40% of working time in the lab

·       Manage, develop, and coach scientific associates.

·       Good working knowledge of relevant analytical techniques e.g., HPLC, and spectrometric analysis for protein and enzymatic activity quantification.

Requirements

·       PhD in life sciences, ideally with a multidisciplinary background relevant for the bioconjugation field. Two to four years of industry experience in a relevant area (e.g., chemistry, biochemistry) is preferred.

·       Experience in optimizing bioconjugation conditions for DAR, recovery, and stability, as well as analytical experience in characterizing bioconjugates (DAR, conjugation site, purity, solubility, and payload stability/release assays) is a great plus.

·       Ability to run multiple projects in parallel, prioritize quickly and bring projects to conclusion.

·       Excellent communication skills and soft skills to build solid relationships.

·       Strong team player.
