🚀 Postdoctoral Scientist (grant)

Bioherent is seeking a Postdoctoral Scientist to lead antibody development for our next-generation photonic immunoassay platform .

If you’re passionate about antibody engineering and molecular biology for real applications, this is your chance to make an impact in translational diagnostics .

We are particularly interested in candidates eligible or planning to apply for a Torres Quevedo grant (2025 call) , who wish to continue their research career in an innovative industrial environment . The call will be open from November 28 to December 18 , so interested applicants are encouraged to contact us as early as possible to prepare a joint proposal within this timeframe.

Key responsabilities

• Being responsible of performing experiment focus on the antibody development from start to finish (mice immunization - hybridoma screening – antibody engineering – antibody production)
• Express different antibody formats using mammalian expression systems.
• Purify expressed proteins using a range of chromatography techniques.
• Characterize and perform quality control of purified antibodies molecules using biochemical and biophysical methods (e.g. SDS-PAGE, CE-SDS).
• Design and generate DNA constructs using a variety of cloning strategies.
• This is a wet lab position and is expected for you to directly perform the above-mentioned tasks.
• Analyse, interpret, and clearly communicate experimental data, both verbally and in written reports.
• Maintain accurate and timely records of all work in laboratory notebooks, in accordance with company procedures.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with the different departments to ensure successful selection, implementation and execution of translational research and clinically relevant biomarker assays and plans.
• Support the Immunochemistry team in antibody testing and contribute to day-to-day lab operations (e.g. maintenance of instruments, preparation of SOPs and risk assessments.
• Being a proactive player in writing scientific publications and grants.

Required technical skills

• Hold a PhD in Life Sciences, Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Antibody Discovery, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Immunology or a related field
• Have proven expertise in antibody/chimeric protein development, with a strong understanding of the antibody engineering and scaled-up production.
• Have an in-depth understanding and hands-on research experience of molecular biology and cellular biology techniques, including DNA cloning and mammalian cell culture.
• Have hands-on experience with in-vivo models (mice).

Preferred technical skills

• Experience in biochemical Immunoassays (e.g. ELISA, SPR, RIA, CLIA).
• Hands-on experience with flow cytometry & FACS.
