We are seeking a motivated and skilled Research Scientist to join our Biophysics team and play a crucial role in supporting therapeutic research projects, from discovery to clinic. The biophysics team sits within the platform technology group, and you will be responsible for utilizing your expertise in biophysical binding characterization techniques, to generate valuable data insights that drive project advancements; therefore, enabling Bicycle® platform technology.

You will be predominantly lab-based and will be responsible for (with support) the design and application of Biophysical assays – primarily, but not limited to SPR. In addition, the role will involve collaboration across the wider team to provide specialist insight and delivery of data to help inform and triage the design cascade. The role will include a split of both core and exploratory work, with an initial focus on helping drive the core processes within the biophysics team. Depending on the candidate and aspirations this will change over time.

You should be comfortable with a fast-paced, dynamic working environment and hold excellent communication skills to facilitate the necessary close interactions within the platform technology team and beyond.

Key responsibilities

• Binding Characterization: Provide essential support to therapeutic research projects by designing and conducting binding characterization experiments using SPR.
• Biophysical Innovation: Explore and implement other biophysical techniques to enhance project support and contribute to the lab's capabilities.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Deliver accurate, high-quality data with comprehensive analysis and interpretation to empower project teams.
• Laboratory Excellence: Ensure meticulous data capture and analysis while adhering to strict data integrity standards.
• Operational Support: Contribute to the day-to-day operations of a state-of-the-art biophysics lab and participate in ongoing process improvement initiatives.
