Who You Are We are looking for a highly motivated and innovative scientist to join our biologics discovery group at GondolaBio. The selected candidate will work within a fast-paced, interactive, and innovative research team to assist in the development of novel antibodies. This role will require a highly cross-functional skillset, including cell biology, immunology, and protein engineering. Requirements Responsibilities • Design and perform studies critical for antibody discovery and validation, including protein expression, purification, and analysis (e.g., CHO / 293T transfection, Protein A or G purification, SEC / SDS-PAGE / Western blot characterization), binding assays (e.g., ELISA, flow cytometry, SPR, BLI), functional assays (e.g., microscopy, fluorescence reporter assays), and immunological assays (e.g., ADCP, ADCC) • Support translational studies that further elucidate the mechanism and biology for drug candidates, including potential biomarker development • Analyze experimental data and present findings to the team. • Maintain accurate and detailed laboratory records, including experimental procedures, results, and conclusions. • Contribute to the preparation of technical reports, presentations, and scientific publications. • Participate in project meetings and contribute to the design and planning of experiments. • Communicate effectively with team members and external collaborators. • Contribute to due diligence and gap analysis on potential new GondolaBio assets Education, Experience & Skills Requirements • Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or related discipline with 2+ years hands-on industry experience. M.S. and B.S. candidates with equivalent experience will also be considered. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities • Proficiency in molecular biology techniques (e.g., cloning, PCR, Gibson assembly, Golden Gate) • Proficiency in protein expression and purification methods (e.g., mammalian, insect, and bacterial expression systems). • Experience with antibody screening and developability assays (e.g., ELISA, flow cytometry, SPR, BLI, developability assessments • Experience working with cell lines in tissue cultures, running western blots and cell-based assays. • Experience with downstream immunological assays (e.g., ADCP, ADCC, CDC, multicolor flow cytometry) • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and teamwork. • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment • Strong scientific background and achievements in bioscience and translational medicine, ideally demonstrated by scientific publications, presentations, and/or patents • Proven track record of successfully working in research programs • Strong understanding of drug discovery and development processes • Excellent communication (written & verbal) and organizational skills • Ability to think strategically and execute experiments effectively • Experience in collaborating with cross-functional teams and external partners • Demonstrate creative 'out of the box' thinking to solve complex technical problems and champion innovative technologies to achieve project goals • Commitment, drive, and ownership mindset What We Offer: • Patient Days, where we are fortunate enough to learn more about the lives we are looking to impact and a real exchange of ideas as to how we can improve our efforts • A culture inspired by our values: put patients first; think independently; be radically transparent; every minute counts; and let the science speak • Collaborative business environment • Excellent compensation package (Base, Performance Bonus, Equity) • Excellent benefits package • Flexible PTO • A fast-paced, data-driven, work environment with world-class R&D minds and capabilities • Work with the most productive groups of R&D operators in the industry • A platform for meaningful scientific contributions to shine The base pay range for this position is $100,000 to $140,000 per year. The actual compensation offered will be determined based on a number of job-related factors, including experience, skills, qualifications, and location. A bonus plan and equity will also be offered.
