Job Description
We are seeking an accomplished scientist with industrial experience in recombinant protein and antibody production to join our team as a Senior or Principal R&D Scientist. This role requires strong expertise in sequence and construct design, expression, purification, and characterization of complex biomolecules, including engineered antibody formats (full-length IgG, bispecific, Fab, sc Fv, Fc-fusions) and fusion proteins. The successful candidate will lead small - to medium - scale production projects, serve as a technical authority in molecular and biochemical design, and ensure delivery of high- quality proteins for research and therapeutic applications. While the emphasis is on project leadership, planning, and mentorship, this position also involves hands-on bench work when needed to support critical projects or troubleshooting.
Flexibility is required, including potential weekend work and early or late weekday shifts based on project demands.
Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end protein production projects, from amino acid sequence design to purified, quality-tested product.
Design and optimize molecular constructs for recombinant proteins, including antibodies and antibody-derived formats (full-length IgG, bispecific, Fab, sc Fv, Fc-fusions) as well as Fc- and non-Fc fusion proteins.
Develop and lead critical SOPs, especially those related to sequence/construct design and molecular engineering, in coordination with upstream, downstream, and analytical teams.
Assist with customized project inquiry review. Determine feasibility of protein expressions, identify areas for optimization, and draft production proposals for project managers.
Advise and review upstream expression workflows in mammalian and insect systems (HEK293, CHO, Sf9), ensuring reproducibility and scalability.
Lead downstream purification strategies using modern chromatography platforms (affinity, IEX, SEC) and contribute to process optimization.
Develop and interpret analytical assays, including ELISA, BLI, DSF, HPLC-SEC, and related QC methods, to assess protein quality, stability, and activity.
Mentor and supervise associates and junior scientists, ensuring rigorous documentation, data integrity, and efficient lab execution.
Collaborate across departments to align on construct design principles, process strategies, and project execution.
Perform bench work when necessary to support critical experiments, troubleshooting, or method development.
Requirements
Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or related field, with 5+ years of industrial experience in recombinant protein and antibody production.
Proven expertise in amino acid sequence design and molecular construct development for recombinant proteins, including antibodies (full-length IgG, bispecific, Fab, sc Fv) and fusion proteins (Fc- and non-Fc).
Experience with protein structural and sequence analysis software.
Demonstrated ability to act as a sole technical contributor and project owner.
Hands-on experience with mammalian and insect cell expression systems, as well as chromatography purification (e.g., Cytiva AKTA).
Proficiency in protein characterization assays such as ELISA, BLI, DSF, HPLC-SEC, and SDS-PAGE.
Strong record of SOP authorship and cross-team collaboration on technical standards.
Excellent project management, organizational, and communication skills.
Industrial CRO/CMO experience preferred.
Flexibility to work occasional early/late shifts or weekends based on project needs.
Must be able to lift and move 25-50 lbs as needed.
At this time, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States now and in the future without the need for sponsorship.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Research fellow job in Houston, TX
Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Nurturing Resilience Initiative/TCHATT
The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at The University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHealth Houston) is seeking a psychology post-doctoral fellow interested in clinical and research training in child and adolescent psychology. Clinical and research training will focus on youth receiving school-based tele-mental health services and children/families who are participating in community-based social-emotional skills groups and evidence-based parenting programs.
Applicants must have a PhD in psychology. This is a hybrid position in which postdoctoral fellows will deliver services via telemedicine and in-person at community sites in Harris and Fort Bend Counties.
Trainees will choose between one of two tracks within the postdoctoral fellowship, with one track focusing on school-aged youth and the other track focusing on early childhood and parenting. The school-age track includes the delivery of brief social emotional groups at Boys and Girls Club and YMCA locations. The second track includes a focus on early childhood with postdoctoral fellows delivering relational-focused parenting classes to caregivers of children under 6 years old. Both tracks include research and training opportunities and can be customized to individual professional goals.
General educational activities include weekly didactic activities, journal clubs, writing clubs, meetings with senior researchers, workshops on grant writing, and individualized career development plans. Scholarly activities are integrated into the fellowship training.
Interested applicants should submit a cover letter detailing clinical and research interests and how they would fit with the program, in addition to CV, a scholarly publication, and three references to their applications.
Position Summary:
A postdoc position provides an opportunity for early-career researchers to gain valuable experience, develop independent research skills, and contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge in their field of expertise.
