Senior Research Associate, Bioanalytical Sciences (Temporary)

THE OPPORTUNITY

Vir seeks a contract Senior Research Associate of Bioanalytics to perform bioanalytical assays to support development of large molecule assets. You will be involved in the development of bioanalytical assays supporting non-clinical and clinical studies. Work with the bioanalytical scientist on method development, study sample analysis, and reporting of data. You will report to the Associate Director, Bioanalytics.

This is an onsite lab-based role, and you will work five (5) days each week from our HQ in San Francisco.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Develop bioanalytical methods to support large clinical candidates that are at different stages of research and development.
• Develop Pharmacokinetic (PK), Anti-drug antibody (ADA) and Neutralizing Antibody (NAb) to support clinical and non-clinical studies.
• Perform sample bioanalysis to support non-clinical drug development activities.
• Generate and characterize critical reagents to support the assay development and life cycle maintaineces (e.g. Labeling)
• Perform troubleshooting and evaluation of a variety of complex methods to identify appropriate bioanalytical solutions.
• Work with bioanalytical scientist and collaborators to support drug development activities.

WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU BRING
