Full Job Description
This position requires a BSc / MSc level scientist to maximize the impact and productivity of the Chemical Biology and Mass Spectrometry and Technologies (CB&MST) team for generation of data to drive pipeline decisions. This scientist will work collaboratively with team members to transition routine, low throughput sample preparation procedures for target validation, target engagement, and off-target profiling into high precision / high throughput procedures with a focus in proteomics preparation methodologies and plate-based proteomics sample prep. The successful candidate will collaborate with teammates to optimize and perform automated sample preparation methodologies and conduct mass spectrometry-based proteomics experiments to enable this transformation. Key Responsibilities: Work with team members to develop, validate, and implement automated sample preparation workflows for CB&MST activities, with an emphasis on plate-based proteomics sample preparation using cell lines, tissues and other biological matrices. 347Develop methods to automate chemical biology sample prep using magnetic bead-based enrichments and liquid handling. 347Collaborate with team members to establish, document, and maintain Standard Operating Procedures for routine workflows. 347Operate, monitor, and assist with the maintenance and troubleshooting of LC-MS instrumentation and associated laboratory equipment. 347Assist with data processing, quality assessment, and data interpretation. 347Interface and collaborate with colleagues and project teams in therapeutic areas to determine appropriate samples and amounts required for studies. Qualifications Basic: 347Bachelors or Masters in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical biology or related field with typically 3-5+ (BS), or 0-2+ (MS) years of experience. 347Hands-on bench skills for preparing samples for mass spectrometry, with a focus in proteomics sample preparation from cell lines and tissues. 347Ability to generate proteomics samples in 96-well plates and run samples on LC-MS instrumentation. 347Ability to work proficiently with laboratory equipment typically found in a chemical biology, biochemistry, or molecular biology laboratory. 347Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and diagnose problems with common laboratory equipment. Preferred: 347Experience utilizing LC/MS for proteomics including current models of Thermo and Bruker mass spectrometers. 347Experience with automation such as the Agilent Bravo, Thermofisher KingFisher, and Opentrons Flex. 347Ability to conduct different types of proteomics experiments including whole proteomics, phosphoproteomics immunoprecipitation proteomics, and targeted MS, etc. 347Experience in basic biochemistry and molecular biology techniques including plate-based assays, SDS-PAGE, western blotting, and mammalian tissue culture is desired. 347Ability to conduct bead- and probe-based chemical biology experiments that utilize proteomics as a readout. 347Ability to effectively use AI to increase personal and team productivity. Key Competencies: 347Builds strong relationships with peers and cross functionally with partners outside of team to enable higher performance. 347Learns fast, grasps the 'essence' and can change the course quickly where indicated. 347Raises the bar and is never satisfied with the status quo. 347Creates a learning environment, open to suggestions and experimentation for improvement. 347Embraces the ideas of others, nurtures, and manages innovation to reality.
