Email: applications@staffingfuture.comOverviewWe are seeking a highly skilled Scientist to join our Biologics Discovery team and lead antibody discovery efforts. We are looking for someone who thinks carefully about target biology and binder requirements, and who can help shape how we build and grow our discovery capabilities over time. This position will be leveled commensurate with experience. PhD-level candidates with 2+ years of relevant industry experience are encouraged to apply.

Key Responsibilities: Define Target Profiles and Campaign Strategy: Work closely with biology and development colleagues to establish target product profiles and translate into well-designed discovery campaigns. Required

Qualifications: PhD in Protein Engineering, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Cancer Biology, or a closely related field, with 2+ years of relevant industry experience. Exceptional candidates with fewer years but a strong track record will also be considered.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
