• Cell Culture experience, coursework in analytical chemistry, biology, physical chemistry, and statistics Emerging Technologies, Manufacturing Science and Technology (MSAT) is currently looking for a Scientist to support laboratory operations in a sandbox innovation laboratory to support pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• The candidate will be responsible for conducting laboratory experiments designed to evaluate new manufacturing process technology for biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Experiments also include the use of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) sensors to replace traditional QC lab testing.
• The candidate will support small scale manufacturing unit operations (i.e. bioreactors, mixing tanks, columns, etc.).
• The candidate will also be responsible for summarizing and auditing data as part of notebook protocols in several different data systems.
• The candidate will also support laboratory operation functions that includes overseeing equipment maintenance, calibration, laboratory safety inspections, equipment qualification and work instructions, and consumable point of use purchase orders.
• Qualified candidates must have the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Written communications in the form of reports, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations is required.
• Good verbal and written communication skills a must.
• 0-5 years experience.

Responsibilities:

• Setup reduced scale biotherapeutic unit operations
• Preculture from vial to wavebag
• Daily offline sampling of preculture and cell culture
• Basic bioreactor operation (daily sampling, calibration of pH, DO, and PAT sensors)
• Set up and tear down of bioreactors
• Setup for other unit operations (i.e. harvest filtration, downstream purification columns) as appropriate
• Summarize data in electronic notebook
• Conduct laboratory experiments from notebook protocols under guidance of scientists
• Perform laboratory operation functions under direction of scientist that includes overseeing equipment maintenance, calibration, laboratory safety inspections, equipment qualification and work instructions, and consumable point of use purchase orders
