• Please carefully review the position requirements before submitting a potential candidate for consideration.

Summary of the Position:

A Research Associate in the Formulation Development department will participate in the development of both liquid and lyophilized vaccine formulations to support product development from initial candidate screening through commercialization. This position is expected to be a leader in laboratory duties among other research associates and exhibit some independence in study execution.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Develop, characterize, and evaluate formulation for preclinical and early clinical studies in solid and liquid product presentations.
• Perform rapid, comprehensive characterization of candidate drug products to determine the physicochemical properties of the drug product and evaluate them for further drug development programs including ELISA, SRID, AUC, CD, Fluorescence spectroscopy, DSC, ITC, UV/Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, SLS and HPLC.
• Assist in the development and scale-up of drug product processes from bench top to pilot scale and technology transfers.
• Provide support to formulate small and large scale lots of liquid, frozen or lyophilized drug substance/product samples.

Minimum Requirements:

• Minimum of 2 to 5 year of relevant experience with a Bachelor degree.
• Experience in formulation product development, Quality by Design (QbD), Design of Experiment (DOE) processes.
• Hands on experience with bio/analytical and physicochemical characterizations of proteins. Prior research experience in the areas of protein synthesis, structure, stability, aggregation, and solubility is highly desirable.
