Scientist, Antibody Engineering, In Vivo Discovery

Title: Scientist, Antibody Engineering, In Vivo Discovery 

Adimab is the leading technology provider for therapeutic antibody drug discovery, focusing solely on our partnerships without pursuing an internal product pipeline. Since 2009, we have partnered with over 140 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, generating more than 650 therapeutic programs, of which more than 85 have entered clinical trials.  

Role Overview: 
We are seeking an experienced immunologist/bioengineer with background in mammalian immunization and single B cell cloning to join our drug discovery team. The successful candidate will play a key role in antibody drug discovery projects and developing novel technologies for the discovery of antibody therapeutics. This individual will be expected to lead and support a range of projects related to antibody discovery and optimization, developability analysis, B cell cloning, library development, reagent design, immunization techniques, and commercial platform development. 

Responsibilities 

• Initiate, execute, and interpret innovative research 
• Internal technology development; focus on mammalian immunization, library development, and B cell cloning technologies 
• Develop and implement new drug discovery technology 
• Read papers, contribute to company-wide scientific discussion, and bring new ideas to the table 
• Successfully collaborate with multiple teams and departments 

Needed upon hire 

• Ph.D. or equivalent practical experience documented by relevant publications 
• A track record of designing experiments and bringing them to a publishable result; a thinker and a doer 
• Meticulously executes bench work 
• Experience with handling mammalian immune cells, cell culturing, B cell cloning, murine or large mammal immunization, multicolor flow cytometry, and molecular biology techniques 
• Knowledge of basic B cell biology, immunization concepts, antibody responses, antibody engineering, display technologies and protein engineering 
• Experience with membrane proteins/ion channels helpful 
• Curiosity and passion for science demonstrated by reading scientific literature 
• Natural inclination to seek out the data source and engage directly with problems 
• Adaptable and productive in a fast-paced environment 
• Ability and interest in managing/mentoring others 
• Communicates effectively and openly with colleagues and supervisors 

Come join us!
Our integrated antibody discovery and engineering platform provides unprecedented speed from antigen to purified, full-length human IgGs with exquisite specificity and biophysical behavior. We offer fundamental advantages by delivering diverse panels of antibodies that meet the most demanding standards for affinity, epitope specificity, species cross-reactivity, and developability. We enable our partners to rapidly expand their biologics pipelines through a broad spectrum of technology access arrangements.

As a profitable privately-held biotech company, we take a long-term view on value creation and make substantial investments in technology development, research, and our people. We offer individually tailored compensation packages comprised of a competitive salary, meaningful equity, a 2:1 401(k) match, and comprehensive health care benefits.

Located in New Hampshire’s beautiful Upper Connecticut River Valley, we are minutes from Dartmouth College, the Geisel School of Medicine, the Thayer School of Engineering, the Tuck School of Business, and the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. We are fortunate to be situated in an area that is renowned for its premier skiing, hiking, kayaking, and biking.
