Primary Responsibility
Functional focus: The Vector Process and Analytical Development team is responsible for developing, characterising vector manufacture to support Adaptimmune’s cell based drug product manufacture.
The purpose of this role is to lead and provide technical expertise on cross-functional projects including process improvement, technology transfer and late phase development activities, such as support IND submissions. The candidate will be expected to design, execute and analyse experiments in the laboratory within a team setting. The Senior Scientist will coordinate and drive the progression of project work streams to solve complex problems and/or troubleshoot existing processes within dedicated teams. They will be expected to contribute to late phase development projects, supporting IND submissions and Biological Licence Applications.
The Senior Scientist will be relatively independent in the planning, execution and analysis of their experiments. The Senior Scientist will work closely with the team leadership to ensure a cohesive workstream strategy and alignment to project delivery.
This role will require the supervision/mentorship of other junior scientists in a matrixed manner within the team, working closely with their line managers. There is a requirement of this Senior Scientist role to involve project work-stream leadership and management.
