  • Execute in vitro antibody selections using yeast display
  • Screen antibodies utilizing ELISA, flow cytometry, SPR and in vitro cellular assays
  • Employ molecular biology to design and construct combinatorial antibody libraries
  • Analyze data using FlowJo, Prism, and Geneious
  • Document experiments thoroughly using Benchling

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Chemistry, or related fields
  • 2–3 years of hands-on experience with display techniques (yeast and/or phage) 
  • Proven ability to manage high-throughput scientific workflows independently
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Collaborative yet capable of independent work
  • Proactive problem solver eager to expand technical skills
  • Passionate about developing therapies to address diseases affecting older adults

  • Previous experience in antibody discovery workflows
