Job Description The Bioanalytical Discovery and Development Sciences (BDDS) organization develops, validates, and conducts bioanalytical sample analysis across the entire J&J Innovative Medicines R&D portfolio from discovery through development. We are looking for an accomplished and dedicated Scientist to design and perform target engagement assays within BDDS for Johnson & Johnson portfolio projects spanning all modalities and therapeutic areas from nonclinical studies to post‑market clinical development.
Responsibilities
Conduct receptor occupancy method qualification and bioanalysis using multi‑parameter flow cytometry of samples supporting preclinical and clinical studies to assess target engagement of therapeutics in J&J developmental pipeline.
Work in a regulated GLP/GCLP environment with autonomy, encouraging a collaborative and inclusive environment.
Promote assigned project activities through hands‑on data generation, quality control (QC) and data analysis.
Use advanced computer software packages to collect, analyze, and interpret flow cytometry data.
Set priorities for experimental work to ensure adequate progress of team projects and objectives; ensure laboratory efficiency and compliance with good laboratory practices and regulatory guidelines.
Author assay checklists, work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and technical reports.
Mentor more junior colleagues in techniques, processes, and responsibilities.
Actively participate in internal seminars and keep up‑to‑date with documentation, published literature and regulatory guidance to develop knowledge of current academic and industry practices and apply it to internal Johnson & Johnson projects.
Understand and apply Johnson & Johnson’s Credo and Leadership Imperatives in day‑to‑day interactions with team.
May also conduct method development for target engagement assays on other platforms including soluble target ligand binding assays and/or hybrid LC‑MS/MS assays.
Education
Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences, Biology, Immunology or a related discipline is required.
Advanced degree is preferred.
Qualifications / Requirements
Minimum 2‑4 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry and/or academic setting.
Demonstrated experience using multi‑parametric flow cytometry (6+ colors) and flow analysis software such as Flowjo or FCS Express.
Solid understanding of cellular techniques, including mammalian cell culture, handling and processing of human and animal blood, PBMCs and aseptic techniques.
Familiarity with BSL2 safety practices for working in the laboratory.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Strong interpersonal, organizational and documentation skills.
Strong motivation to learn new skills, grow as a scientist and adapt to challenges of the job.
Ability to multi‑task, prioritize and plan based on project needs, and work in a fast‑paced dynamic environment.
Ability to independently perform experimental design, including generation, analysis and QC of data and interpretation of results.
Ability to interact and collaborate effectively in a cross‑functional team environment.
Preferred
Hands‑on experience and solid understanding of GLP/GCLP bioanalysis and regulatory guidelines to assess safety and efficacy of therapeutics.
Knowledge of T cell and B cell biology and immunological mechanisms of disease and biotherapeutics.
Experience with pharmacokinetic, immune response and/or soluble target engagement assays on ELISA, MSD, LC‑MS and/or similar assay platforms.
