Job posting: bioconjugation chemist. IDEXX, Westbrook, ME

Via C&EN Jobs: 

The IDEXX New Product Development Team is hiring a Scientist to support Immunoassay Reagent Design and Development. ​A successful candidate will synthesize and characterize reagents to define the design space and critical quality attributes needed to optimize assay performance and establish developability. You will perform small molecule-protein and protein-protein conjugations that will be utilized across multiple assay platforms. You will apply statistical design of experiments to drive experimentation and provide insight into conjugate behavior and performance

What will you do?

• Plan, prepare and characterize small molecule-protein and protein-protein bioconjugates to support our research platform.
• Prepare materials, perform experiments, purify, analyze, gather data, and reach conclusions. May also design experiments.
• Plan and apply DOE methodology to design experiments to cover design space.

 ...What do you need to succeed?

• Bachelor’s degree with 5+ years of experience, or Master’s degree with 0-3 years of experience in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or related fields
• Hands-on experience with bioconjugation, purification, and characterization of conjugates.
