Duties and Responsibilities:

• Prepare biological samples (cells, tissues, plasma) for LC-MS analysis.
• Perform protein lysis, immunoprecipitation, digestion, filtration, and concentration.
• Design and execute experiments in collaboration with scientists.
• Develop and optimize analytical methods.
• Analyze, interpret, and document results in electronic lab notebooks.
• Present findings and contribute to team discussions.
• Maintain high standards of lab safety and data integrity.

Education and Experience:

• BS in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or related field + 3–5 years of experience.
• MS + 1–3 years of experience.
• This role is not open to fresh graduates or PhD holders.

Technical Skills:

• Strong experience with LC-MS sample preparation workflows.
• Familiarity with proteomics and immunoanalytical techniques.
• Exposure to Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) is a plus.
• Comfortable operating lab equipment and following complex protocols.
• Excellent data organization and communication skills.

Soft Skills:

• Independent and self-motivated.
• Strong team player with collaborative mindset.
• Eager to learn and apply new techniques quickly

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:.

• Work on meaningful science with real-world impact
• Collaborate with top-tier scientists in a supportive environment
• Product exposure to innovative technologies and methodologies
• Grow your skills in a dynamic, fast-paced lab setting
• Hands-on role in protein mass spectrometry, supporting innovative research in pharmacokinetics and metabolism.
• Emphasize LC-MS sample prep as the core skill—candidates with strong experience here are highly valued.
• PRM and proteomics are preferred but trainable—encourage candidates with LC-MS and immunoassay backgrounds to apply.
• Designed for BS/MS-level scientists—a great opportunity for those who want to stay hands-on in the lab and deepen their expertise.
• Not a postdoc or academic transition role—ideal for industry-minded professionals.
