About Octapharma Octapharma Biopharmaceuticals GmbH a subsidiary of the Octapharma group founded in 1997 is a successful and expanding biotech company in Heidelberg. Our core business is the development of recombinant proteins produced in human cell lines for therapeutic use in humans. We strive for effective treatments with an improved tolerability and convenience for the patient. We are looking for: A Scientist (m/f/d) to join our R&D Analytics group at our site in Heidelberg. As a member of a young, highly motivated team of biologists and biotechnologists, you will accompany the development of new, protein-based drugs from early identification to late development phases. The Analytics group is involved in the quantification of a broad range of biomolecules as well as the biochemical characterization of a variety of innovative, recombinant product candidates. Among others, ELISA-based methods, immunoassays, cell-based assays as well as activity assays are applied. By performing routine analyses as well as developing and automating new measurement methods our team supports a network of research groups in the identification and characterization of drug candidates in the field of hematology and immunology. Interdisciplinary interactions with other R&D as well as GMP groups are a matter of course for us. We are aiming for recruitment at the next possible date. Scientist (m/f/d) R&D Analytics Responsibilities: Conceptual design, feasibility assessment, development and application of a broad spectrum of new analytical methods with focus on method suitability for the intended use Independent supervision and processing of sub-projects in coordination with other groups Planning, execution and evaluation of routine analysis in the field of biological activities, coagulation assays, ELISA, SDS-PAGE, Western Blot and other basic analytical methods in a timely fashion Statistical evaluation and digitalized management of data packages and preparation of method transfer to the GMP area Design of studies in accordance with the principles of Design of Experiment (DoE) and implementation of methods on robotic high throughput platforms Preparation and review of relevant documentation like e.g. development reports, work instructions and risk assessments Participation in scientific conferences and presentation of scientific data, project progress and literature in internal and external meetings Supervision of student assistants and research associates Self-initiative scientific research on biological, physical and chemical principles with respect to current analytical techniques Your profile: You have an outspoken and pro-active personality.
