    • Improving the design of the biological components to increase sequencing accuracy and throughput.
    • Process development and scale up.
    • Bio-conjugation and chemical biology.
    • High-resolution characterisation of the biological components.
    • Technology transfer to internal and external manufacturing teams.
    • Managing multiple projects in a very fast paced and agile environment.
    • Working and communicating effectively with other groups in R&D and Production.

    What We're Looking For...

    • 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
    • PhD level in a biochemistry, chemistry, or related subject is advantageous.
    • Significant experience in biomolecule chromatography, especially with HPLC.
    • Good problem-solving and analytical skills and strong attention to detail.

    Experience in the following areas would be advantageous:
    • In-depth understanding of chromatographic equipment.
    • Scale up and process development.
    • Significant experience with biological characterisation, especially via HPLC.
    • Experience managing a group of scientists.

    This role will suit someone willing to learn, who is motivated to achieve results and performs well under pressure.

    We offer outstanding benefits to include an attractive bonus, generous pension contributions, private healthcare and an excellent starting salary. Based within beautiful, landscaped surroundings with tree-lined walks, water features and a lake, all of which make for a wonderful working environment.
