Job Title: Scientist - II (Associate) (#MSD1JP00003797)
Location: 33 Avenue Louis Pasteur, Boston, MA 02115 United States (Onsite)
Duration: 06+ Months Contract

Pay Rate: $56.66/Hr on W2

Shift: Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM – 40 Hours/Week  
 
(Job Details)
 
Qualifications
Education Requirement:
• BS/BA degree in biochemistry, biophysics or a related discipline with a minimum of 1-5 years industry experience; or a MS degree in biochemistry, biophysics or a related discipline with 2 or more years of industry experience, preferably with a focus on assay development and compound profiling within a drug discovery environment.
 
Required Skills:

• Candidate should have basic knowledge of biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology
• Candidate should have prior experience with basic biochemical and/or biophysical techniques
• Candidate should be highly motivated, driven, and willing to take the initiative to learn new scientific methodologies
• Candidate should be a strong team player
• Candidate should have excellent oral and written communication skills
• Candidate should be comfortable using a PC computer and proficient in Windows-based operating systems and basic applications for data analysis, such as spreadsheets and databases

• Proven ability to independently design, develop and implement biochemical and biophysical screening assays using detection modalities such as: TR-FRET, FP, LC-MS, radiochemical, surface plasmon resonance (BIAcore), fluorescence-based thermal shift (TdF), and/or isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).
• Hands-on experience performing steady-state and transient-state kinetic experiments to study enzymes and inhibitors.
• Experience in the use of automated liquid handlers such as Echo, Bravo, Biomek, or Hamilton and data analysis and presentation software such as TIBCO Spotfire, Excel and PowerPoint.

• The role is for a lab-facing biophysics/biochemical assay position, and the team needs someone who can ramp up quickly rather than a fresh graduate.
• Key assay experience to prioritize includes TR-FRET/FRET, ADP-Glo, fluorescence polarization, and similar biochemical assay formats; ELISA is less relevant for this role.
• Liquid handling experience is nice to have, not required; the specific instrumentation is considered trainable, and basic pipetting/instrument awareness is sufficient.
• Ideal candidates should have approximately 3–5 years of industry experience.
• No PhD candidates.
• The day-to-day work is primarily lab-based, involving routine assay execution, data analysis, documentation, troubleshooting, and communication of unusual results to the team.
• The candidate should be fairly independent after training, but collaboration will be needed for less routine experiments or troubleshooting.
• Helpful software experience includes TIBCO Spotfire and GraphPad Prism; other Client-specific tools can be trained.
• The biophysics group is relatively small, about 12 people, within a larger Boston department of around 95 people and a global department of roughly 350–400 people.

• Develop and/or run quantitative biochemical and biophysical assays to support identification, characterization, and optimization of small molecule ligands from high throughput screening campaigns and medicinal chemistry efforts.
• Conduct biochemical and biophysical studies to elucidate the modes of ligand interaction and mechanisms of action on target proteins.
