Research Scientist, Lead Generation, Mabtech

Are you the next research scientist to join our lead generation team? If you share our enthusiasm for biomedical research and get excited about all things immunology, you could be the one we’re searching for.

About the position

Your main responsibilities will be developing and characterizing monoclonal antibodies. We use a wide range of immunoassays to develop and characterize our antibodies – and we produce and purify our own antigens, too. Because each project is unique, you’ll experience a steep learning curve with tons of exciting challenges along the way.

As research scientist with a focus on lead generation, you’ll be working upstream on developing antibodies, which then get turned into products by the downstream system development team. At Mabtech, ownership is everything – which means constantly coming up with new ideas, driving the best ones forward, and holding yourself just as accountable for the unexpected as you do for the slam dunks. Being able to work cross-team is also crucial for success here, since you’ll balance independent work with problem solving amongst teams.

About you

We think you’re at the start of your career, excited to contribute to innovative products that enable research all over the world. You thrive in the lab and have experience with eukaryotic cell culture and immunoassays such us ELISA and Octet (bio layer interferometry). It’s a plus if you also have experience with transfection of eukaryotic cells and affinity-based protein purification. You’ve probably understood that accuracy and structure are vital for this role.

Mabtech is a small company known for spotting potential and rapidly adapting to market need. So, it’s incredibly important for you to have a collaborative and flexible mindset at work. Tasks can change (sometimes even at the last minute), but you’ll never be alone. We’re all in this together, and we won’t call it done until it’s right. At Mabtech, quality isn’t just a word. It’s a mindset, a mantra, and a lens we hold to all our initiatives – whatever the size.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in biotechnology or equivalent.
• Experience from eukaryotic cell culture, mAb-based immunoassays and protein purification
• Excellent oral and written communication skills in English (hopefully in Swedish, too)
• Experience with data documentation using an electronic lab notebook
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to work autonomously

Recruitment process

For this recruitment process, Mabtech is collaborating with Mpya Sci & Tech. Send in your application as soon as possible, but no later than October 15th. Any questions? Reach out to Sandra Bydell Sveder here: sandra.sveder@mpyascitech.com
