Scientist II – Analytical Development (Biologics)
Status: Contract to hire
Compensation: $64/hr - $73/hr DOE
Base pay range $64.00/hr - $73.00/hr
Overview A growing biotech organization is looking for a driven Scientist II to support analytical development activities for next-generation biologic therapeutics. This position is based in the San Diego area and plays a key role in method development, characterization, and early CMC support for complex protein and antibody formats.
The role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands‑on bench work, problem‑solving across multiple analytical platforms, and collaborating with cross‑functional teams advancing early‑stage biologics.
Primary Responsibilities
Develop, refine, and implement analytical methods for characterization, release, and stability of diverse biologic molecules (e.g., antibodies, bispecifics, conjugates).
Perform routine and non‑routine analyses using platforms such as HPLC (SEC, HIC, IEX), capillary electrophoresis (icIEF, CE‑SDS), UV‑Vis, pH/osmolality measurements, and impurity assessments (e.g., HCP).
Interpret complex data sets, identify trends, and deliver insights that guide research and process development decisions.
Maintain high‑quality documentation in electronic lab notebooks and prepare technical documents including study protocols, reports, and method descriptions.
Recommend improvements to analytical workflows and stay current with emerging technologies in separation sciences and biologics analysis.
Serve as the analytical representative on internal project teams spanning Discovery, Process Development, and CMC.
Support external activities such as method transfer, analytical lifecycle management, and stability program oversight.
Qualifications
Advanced degree in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, or a related field, with ~3+ years of relevant industry experience in biologics analytical development (or an equivalent combination of education and experience).
Deep expertise in separation science and demonstrated capability in method development and qualification/validation.
Strong practical experience operating modern analytical instrumentation for biotherapeutic characterization.
Solid understanding of protein structure, degradation pathways, and common challenges in biologic development.
Comfortable working in a small, fast‑moving environment and willing to both learn from and mentor others.
Excellent technical writing skills and familiarity with drafting content for regulatory submissions.
Knowledge of early‑stage development principles, manufacturing science/technology, unit operations, and GxP concepts.
Experience supporting formulation, process development, or drug product teams is a plus.
Seniority level Mid‑Senior level
Employment type Contract
