We're hiring for an LC-MS Associate Scientist to join an innovative analytics team driving the development of next-generation monoclonal antibody therapeutics. If you have experience with LC-MS and a passion for advancing biologics, this could be a great opportunity to apply your skills in a forward-thinking environment.
The Role:
You’ll develop and optimise LC-MS methods (e.g., intact mass and N-released glycosylation analysis) and help establish a robust routine analytical service. Your work will support key characterisation of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and integrate closely with upstream development teams.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and optimise LC-MS assays for mAb characterisation
Set up and maintain a routine LC-MS service, including team training
Troubleshoot instrumentation and ensure data quality
Standardise analysis templates compatible with ELNs and ML integration
Collaborate across scientific teams to ensure alignment
Contribute to SOPs, lab upkeep, and internal presentations
What We're Looking For:
BSc or MSc in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Analytical Chemistry, or similar
3+ years’ hands-on experience in LC-MS analysis of biologics
Strong understanding of assay development and CQA analysis
Excellent documentation and problem-solving skills
Bonus Skills:
Experience with Waters BioAccord and Benchling
Exposure to high-throughput pipelines and broader mAb analytics (e.g., ELISA, qPCR)
Familiarity with ICH guidelines and QbD principles
Location: Oxford
