Manufacturing Associate, Protein Downstream Process
Implementing a robust protein production pipeline will be instrumental in providing the key reagents needed to implement the fastest, cleanest, and most accurate DNA synthesis system in the world. As a Manufacturing Associate in the Protein Production team, you will have the exciting opportunity to transition our protein production from research to pilot scale and beyond. You’ll have the exciting opportunity to learn the ins and outs of research and pilot scale recombinant protein purification.
If you get goosebumps at the thought of learning and implementing large-scale purification of high-value proteins, then we want to hear from you!
Responsibilities:
- Execute downstream processing workflow for recombinant protein production: E. coli harvest, lysis, clarification, purification, and buffer production
- Keep detailed notes of experimental procedures and observations using an electronic lab notebook
- Collaborating in a team environment: At Ansa, communication between teams is critical–our technology is built on enzymes, chemistry, and automation. Additionally, we believe that kind-natured honesty and openness are an instrumental part of the scientific endeavor.
Experience:
- Bachelor’s/Master’s with 0-2 years of industry experience
- Previous experience in protein purification (eg. cell harvest, affinity/IEX chromatography, buffer preparation) is a plus
- Experience in recombinant protein production is a plus
- Experience with DNA-binding proteins is a plus
- Enthusiasm to learn new techniques and curiosity to explore new areas of biology
