  • Creative individuals with a passion for science and capable of independent work in a collaborative environment are particularly encouraged to apply. 
  • Well-qualified individuals will have one or more first author research publications in high quality journals in protein/antibody engineering or a related field. 
  • Experience in protein/antibody engineering from rational design, through generation of mutants, to the expression, purification and characterization of mutant proteins is desirable.
  • Expertise with molecular evolution technologies such as yeast or phage display is a plus.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills are needed.
