Job DescriptionPosition OverviewWe are seeking a highly motivated scientist to fill a postdoctoral fellowship position in Biologics Process Research & Development. This is an exciting opportunity to conduct research in an industry setting at the intersection of process development, systems biology, and analytical science.
The successful candidate will work on a multidisciplinary research program aimed at improving understanding of biologics manufacturing processes and their impact on process performance and product quality. Specifically, this project seeks improved mechanistic understanding of the effect of process mode differences on cellular metabolism, product quality attributes, and process performance. The role will involve collaboration with scientists across multiple functions and the use of experimental and data-driven approaches to generate actionable insights.
This position offers the opportunity and expectation to contribute to scientific publications and presentations while gaining valuable experience in biologics development and process science. The successful candidate will deepen the team's scientific understanding of biologics process development while preparing for a successful career in biotechnology and pharmaceutical development. The duration of this project could extend up to 3 years depending on the progress demonstrated.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:- Design, execute, and interpret research studies related to biologics manufacturing and process development
- Develop and manage an independent research project while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams
- Investigate relationships among process conditions, cell culture performance, and product characteristics
- Apply analytical, molecular, and biological methods to generate and interpret data
- Integrate and analyze multiple data types using statistical and computational tools to identify trends, hypotheses, and process insights
- Develop mechanistic hypotheses and experimental strategies to support process improvement
- Present research findings at internal and external scientific forums and in peer-reviewed journals
- Stay current with scientific literature and emerging developments in the field
Education Minimum Requirement:- Must currently hold a Ph.D. or
- Receive a Ph.D. no later than June 2027
