Scientist - Protein Analysis

Job Title: Scientist - Protein analysis 
Location: Stevenage 
Job Type: Permanent, full time 

At LifeArc, we want to hear from people who are as passionate as we are about making life science life changing that can improve patients’ lives. 

 
A bit about the role:  

We are seeking an enthusiastic, adaptable, and collaborative Scientist with expertise in the analytical separation and characterization of antibodies, ADCs and/or other proteins using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. This role sits within a lab-based team, responsible for the development of analytical methods to support and enhance LifeArc’s diverse project portfolio across the antibody, small molecule and novel modalities space. 

As a Scientist, you will be expected to independently conduct research and experiments, analyse and interpret the data, and present results and conclusions to the line manager/project leader and wider project team. Responsibilities include performing established in-house LC-MS workflows confirming sample purity and stability, sequence-to-mass matching, drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) determination, and peptide mapping. You will also be responsible for running other analytical methods for the characterization of biologics, e.g., SEC-MALS and HIC. Furthermore, with input and guidance from the team, you will be expected to generate bespoke analytical workflows to support projects as required.  

 
About us: 

At LifeArc, our ambition is to make life science life changing. We do this by advancing scientific discoveries beyond the lab, faster, so that they can shape the next generation of diagnostics, treatments, and cures.  

Working at the cutting edge of translational science and as the early-stage translation specialists, we progress scientific discoveries on their journey to becoming a medicine, diagnostic or intervention that can improve patients’ lives. Our work begins by seeking out innovative science, then helping to develop this to a point where there is a clinical and commercial pathway for others to invest the time and money to take it further forward.  

 
What we can offer you: 

Salary will be determined by qualifications and experience along with other exceptional benefits. Because we understand everyone has different requirements, our flexible benefits allow you to choose those which are important to you. Our pension scheme offers employer contributions of up to 12%, private health insurance, and annual leave of 31 days PLUS bank holidays.  

Join us, and you’ll have the scope to be creative and take measured risks. You’ll be rewarded for your curiosity, for working as one team, and for learning fast. And you’ll have everything you need to be your best every day.  

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people from minority ethnic backgrounds, for example, are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At LifeArc we are dedicated in building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so whatever your background or lived experience, if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. Our top priority is finding the best candidate and you may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.  

We all have potential. At LifeArc, you’ll discover what you can really do with it.
