Forward Deployed Scientist

The role

You will work directly with scientists to design experiments, develop new assays, and generate data. You will combine hands-on experimental work in an automated lab with scientific collaboration to support research teams.

What you will do

• Lead experimental projects with ARIA Creators.
• Translate biological questions into experimental plans, defining targets, success criteria, constructs, controls and assays.
• Design and execute experiments in the lab.
• Troubleshoot experiments across protein expression, binding, biophysical characterisation and other workflows.
• Develop, validate, and bring new assays onto the automation platform.
• Analyse binding, expression, stability and other assay data.
• Interpret results to help determine which experiments to pursue next.
• Work with ARIA Programme Directors to understand future experimental capability needs.
• Build long-term scientific partnerships with research teams.
• Bring learnings back into the science and platform roadmap.

Required qualifications

• Degree and/or hands-on experience in protein design, computational biology, biochemistry, structural biology or a related field.
• Deep hands-on experience with SPR, BLI, nanoDSF or related methods, including experimental design, data interpretation and troubleshooting.
• Experience developing and optimising assays.
• Strong experimental data analysis skills.
• Excellent scientific communication.
• Comfort with ambiguity.
• High ownership.

Nice to have

• Experience with lab automation
• High-throughput experimentation
• Working with external scientific partners
