Position/Scope of role:

Ensocell is using cutting-edge single cell, spatial genomics, and AI-based computational technologies to identify and develop pioneering therapeutics.

We are seeking a highly motivated protein engineer to join the biotherapeutics discovery group. The candidate must have demonstrable experience with antibody discovery and protein engineering programs in a biologics discovery setting.

What this role will involve

• Expertise in protein and antibody engineering in the discovery and preclinical development of biotherapeutic candidates.
• Assist in evaluating new technologies to stay at the cutting edge of biologics discovery, production, and characterization.
• Play a key role in assessing protein structure and function as applied toward the evaluation of biologics for protein design and engineering.
• Present your findings and ideas to an interdisciplinary team with a wide range of technical backgrounds.

What we expect from you

Qualifications and skills

• Ph.D. in molecular biology, structural biology, biophysics, biochemistry, or related disciplines and a minimum of 2 years of experience in the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry post Ph.D.
• Extensive hands-on laboratory experience in all aspects of protein and antibody expression, purification, and characterization to support the preclinical discovery and development efforts of the biotherapeutics group.
• Demonstrable experience in antibody discovery, antibody engineering, or the engineering of other proteins.
• Familiarity with various antibody formats and scaffolds including, but not limited to fusion proteins, bi-specific antibodies, single-domain antibodies (VHH), and bi-paratopic antibodies
• Experience in mammalian cell culture and protein expression systems
• Self-starter, strong collaborative skills working in cross-functional teams and a start-up environment
