Research Scientist Biochemistry with Focus Plate-Based Assays (gn)

Your mission

• You will be a member of our interdisciplinary teams alongside colleagues from project management, protein production, protein crystallography, medicinal and computational chemistry.
• Within these experienced teams you will be responsible for developing biochemical binding and functional assays as well as biophysical assay formats to support internal and customer early drug discover projects.
• Your focus is on plate-based assays for profiling and library screening, assessing target-ligand binding or ligand effect on enzymatic activity (e.g. TR-FRET, AlphaLisa, luminescence, FI, FP, FRET/BRET).
• Experience in biophysical techniques will be a plus (e.g. nanoDSF, TSA, MST, ITC, SPR).
• You will work within our state-of-the-art biochemistry and biophysics platform, performing experiments and instructing lab staff. You will analyze and report your results to our customers and internal project teams.

Your profile

• You have a PhD degree in biochemistry, biophysics or a comparable discipline.
• You are familiar with the drug discovery process from screen to lead and have 2+ years of relevant work experience in a drug discovery environment.
• You have advanced experience with biochemical and biophysical technologies including a deep understanding of enzymology and binding kinetics and with integrating them into early drug discovery programs 
• You are able to plan experiments, generate and analyze biochemical/ biophysical data and report to drug discovery teams. You are experienced in discussing data from neighboring disciplines and to integrate your data in the context of drug discovery projects.
• Your positive, communicative and open personality helps you to understand other opinions, and contributes to productive project discussions with internal and customer project teams.
• Fluent English and basic German language skills are required.
