Associate Principal Scientist, Downstream Vaccines and Advanced Biotechnologies

**Associate Principal Scientist – Downstream Vaccines and Advanced Biotechnologies Process R&D** The candidate will be responsible for scientific/technical leadership of a downstream/bio-purification process development team, and will also be a critical member of cross-functional program/project teams. This will require frequent collaboration with cross-functional teams including colleagues in Discovery, Analytical, Formulation, and Enabling Technologies. The candidate should have a strong background in recombinant protein therapeutic/vaccine process design and understanding of various purification modalities, including but not limited to column chromatography (SEC, IEX, Affinity, MMC, HIC, etc.) and filtration unit operations (depth filtration, sterile filtration, viral filtration, TFF), as well as advanced knowledge in peptide/protein handling and purification techniques. Alternatively, the candidate will have a strong background in biomolecule conjugation techniques and conjugate modalities (e.g., conjugate vaccines, antibody-drug conjugates). Preferably, the candidate will have experience with both recombinant protein purification and conjugation process development.
