About the job
Description Of Position
We offer a one year postdoctoral position within our Protein and Antibody Engineering unit in Turku, Finland. We are seeking a research driven scientist interested in combining multispecifc antibody design with high throughput assay development.
Our team is responsible for not only developing contemporary biologic-based therapeutics but also developing next generation modalities such as multispecific antibodies. Your key responsibilities would be developing high throughput screening assays using our mammalian display platform in order to facilitate multispecific antibody discovery and maturation.
Your key responsibilities include the following:
- cloning and testing of multispecific antibody designs using flow cytometry
- construction and validation of stable cell lines
- construction of mammalian display antibody libraries
- FACS sorting of antibody libraries
Description Of Unit
The Protein and Antibody Engineering Unit work within Orion’s Medicinal Design to create and optimize biologic based therapeutics. We support numerous programs that are intended for clinical use while also exploring and developing modalities that address current limitations in drug design. The Protein and Antibody Engineering Unit consists of highly experienced scientists drawn from around the world with a common goal of designing better drugs to lessen disease impact.
We offer
We offer you the opportunity to learn from talented scientists while exploring and developing the next generation of drug modalities. Work here is intended to not only expand our understanding and capacity for drug design but also push into clinic. We blend an academic environment with industry focus on drug development. You will be supported by outstanding scientists and individuals whose primary aim is expand knowledge while creating drugs that will combat disease.
Requirements
To succeed in this role you have:
- A PhD in a field using molecular biology
- Experience in semi to high throughput molecular techniques
- Experience in cell culture
Ideally you have an understanding of antibody structure and function along with knowledge of display technologies. It is more important, however, that you are capable and eager to learn and are comfortable with new ideas and concepts in a project that will shift and change as data is generated. We will be seeking an individual that is enthusiastic and driven to succeed in a goal oriented environment and will embrace this opportunity to not only work on, but also develop cutting edge technology.
