Analytical Scientist - LCMS

We're hiring for an LC-MS Associate Scientist to join an innovative analytics team driving the development of next-generation monoclonal antibody therapeutics. If you have experience with LC-MS and a passion for advancing biologics, this could be a great opportunity to apply your skills in a forward-thinking environment.

The Role:

You’ll develop and optimise LC-MS methods (e.g., intact mass and N-released glycosylation analysis) and help establish a robust routine analytical service. Your work will support key characterisation of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and integrate closely with upstream development teams.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and optimise LC-MS assays for mAb characterisation

Set up and maintain a routine LC-MS service, including team training

Troubleshoot instrumentation and ensure data quality

Standardise analysis templates compatible with ELNs and ML integration

Collaborate across scientific teams to ensure alignment

Maintain detailed, GLP-compliant experimental records

Contribute to SOPs, lab upkeep, and internal presentations
