Contract type: Permanent

Reports To: Senior Scientist or above

**THE ROLE**

For more than twenty years, Isogenica has built deep expertise and knowledge about how to find VHH antibodies and develop them into drugs in partnership with some of the world’s most innovative biopharma companies. As a Research Associate in our

Your communication and attention to detail allows you to accurately execute and report your experimental outcomes, building into interpretation of data and presentation to the wider team and, ultimately, our partners.

As a Research Associate, the majority of your time will be lab-based with some time spent in the office, writing up experiments. You will grow into the role, demonstrating your ability to work autonomously to a plan and successfully execute experiments and communicate your results effectively, asking questions proactively to deepen your scientific understanding.

**WHO YOU ARE**
- You are “outcomes focused”, and able to prioritise your work to meet deadlines. You have good organisational skills and communicate proactively.
- You are a good team player. You relish a challenge and are thoughtful and proactive in seeking solutions.
- You are conscientious and observant, and this includes working to create a safe and efficient working environment for yourself and your colleagues.

**JOB SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES**

This role suits a scientist with some experience of laboratory work. You will work alongside more experienced colleagues on partnered discovery campaigns to generate novel biotherapeutics to treat serious diseases. You will carry out technical work to support our projects, following established experimental designs. You will work under the direction of more senior colleagues but will soon be able to work effectively without close supervision.

**Responsibilities and Duties**:

- Following established processes and methods to a high level of accuracy, seeking guidance and raising questions as necessary.
- Run pre-programmed procedures on liquid handling and colony picking robots.
- Express proteins from E. coli and analyse their quality using SDS-PAGE, Western Blot and size exclusion chromatography.
- Execute basic antibody binding assays e.g. ELISA.
- Perform general molecular biology work (DNA purification, PCR setup, restriction digests/ligations, E. coli transformation, gel electrophoresis ).
- Accurately recording and reporting data, building your data interpretation and communication skills.
- Comply with health and safety policies including conducting risk assessments and COSHH and raising of any H&S concerns with the line manager.

**Behaviours and Values**:

- Fostering collaborative relationships with colleagues is essential.
- Enthusiasm for learning and a proactive approach to expanding own knowledge and skills.
- Respectfully challenge ideas or process or ask questions to develop own learning.
- Good written and verbal communication skills.
- Takes personal responsibility and demonstrates good planning and organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise and execute work within the remit of the role.

**WHO WE ARE**

**WHAT IT’S LIKE WORKING WITH US**

Our values best describe what it’s like to work here. We’re passionate about using our skills, expertise and knowledge to improve the lives of patients. We love to learn and believe that individual growth and Isogenica’s success goes hand in hand. We challenge and support each other to master new skills, acquire new knowledge and deliver breakthrough technologies that benefit our company, our partners and ultimately patients. Our passion, enjoyment and motivation for our work make Isogenica an inspiring place to work.

As a small team, we work together by trusting, respecting and supporting each other. While we each have ownership over our projects, we draw on the skills and expertise of colleagues to ensure the best outcomes. Delivering valuable, world-changing science takes time so many of our projects and partnerships are long term but we feel a strong sense of urgency to improve lives by innovating and adapting to change quickly as our projects turn corners or new technologies become available.

**WHAT WE OFFER**

As well as being part of our skilled and enthusiastic team, you will also benefit from:

- 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays
- A culture of trust, including the option to work some days from home when appropriate
- A work-place pension with an 8% employer contribution
- Routine salary benchmarking in the biotech industry to ensure our pay remains both fair and competitive
- Access to Income Protection and Life Insurance benefits
- Access to Private Medical Insurance (eligible on completion of probation)
- Unlimited access to health and wellbeing resources through our Employee Assistance Programme including counselling and telephone GP service
- Professional development tailored to you including both in-house tra
