Title: Scientist Mass Spectrometry

Location: Slough (on site)

Hourly Rate: Competitive

Employment Type: Contract

Industry: Pharmaceutical

This is an ideal opportunity for an enthusiastic scientist to develop their mass spectrometry skills and experience in the biopharmaceutical sector. It will also provide the opportunity to seek out, develop and implement new assays to support the development of novel protein therapeutics and to publish the work where appropriate.

The role:

The position is within the mass spectrometry team within the Biological Characterisation Product Development Sciences department. The team focus incorporates comprehensive detailed characterisation of proteins to elucidate their structure, function and degradation pathways, as well as understanding protein production processes. This is achieved using mass spectrometry based methods, such as peptide mapping, intact mass, multiple attribute methods, host-cell protein analysis, ion mobility, hydrogen deuterium exchange. A wide range of instrumentation is available, including Thermo Q-Exactives and Exploris, Waters Synapt, Waters HDX, Bruker TIMS TOF.

Experience Needed:

PhD or several years laboratory experience or equivalent in academic or industrial setting using mass spectrometry
