What are the responsibilities and job description for the Research Associate 2, Drug Product development DPDT position at BioSpace?
Research Associate 2, Drug Product and Devices Technologies (DPDT)
BioMarin is the world leader in delivering therapeutics that provide meaningful advances to patients who live with serious and life-threatening rare genetic diseases. We target diseases that lack effective therapies and affect relatively small numbers of patients, many of whom are children. These conditions are often inherited, difficult to diagnose, progressively debilitating and have few, if any, treatment options. BioMarin will continue to focus on advancing therapies that are the first or best of their kind.
BioMarin’s Technical Operations group is responsible for creating our drugs for use in clinical trials and for scaling production of those drugs for the commercial market. These engineers, technicians, scientists and support staff build and maintain BioMarin’s cutting-edge manufacturing processes and sites, provide quality assurance and quality control to ensure we meet regulatory standards, and procure the needed goods and services to support manufacturing and coordinating the worldwide movement of our drugs to patients. Come join our team and make a meaningful impact on patients’ lives.
Summary
The Research Associate 2 role will support the team by generating high quality data while executing both routine testing and more complex, exploratory research projects. In addition, the candidate is expected to lead certain aspects of projects independently including experimental design, execution, interpretation of results, drafting of technical documents, and communication of data to stakeholders through oral presentations
Responsibilities/ideal Skills
BS in physical/Chemical/Biological/Life Science with over 2- 4 years’ experience or M.S. with over 0-2 years’ experience.
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
