Original job description

Job Title: Research Associate Upstream Protein ExpressionJob DescriptionThis entry-level, on-site Research Associate role supports a discovery and preclinical team by executing upstream protein expression, purification, and characterization workflows. The position is ideal for recent graduates or early-career professionals in biochemistry or related life sciences who want a hands-on, lab-based role focused on protein science rather than clinical operations. You will contribute directly to research efforts that leverage a proprietary protein replacement therapy platform aimed at developing fusion proteins to address rare diseases.

Responsibilities

Perform upstream protein expression using appropriate systems, buffers, and conditions to support discovery and preclinical studies.
Prepare buffers and reagents accurately to support protein expression, purification, and analytical workflows.
Run gels and western blots to analyze protein expression levels, confirm protein identity, and assess sample quality.
Conduct protein purification using chromatography-based methods and other relevant techniques.
Carry out biophysical characterization of proteins to evaluate purity, stability, and other key attributes.
Operate AKTA systems to perform large-scale chromatography at several-liter scale as needed.
Occasionally perform purification using gravity columns and loose resins when appropriate.
Maintain detailed, accurate, and organized laboratory records, including experimental conditions, observations, and results.
Clearly communicate findings, progress, and issues to the broader team in a timely and transparent manner.
Collaborate with team members in a discovery/preclinical lab environment, asking questions and offering support to ensure high-quality scientific outcomes.

Essential Skills

Bachelors degree in Biochemistry strongly preferred; a bachelors degree in a related Life Science field is acceptable.
03 years of industry experience in a relevant laboratory setting; recent graduates are welcome.
If no industry experience, strong undergraduate research experience in protein-related work is required.
Hands-on experience with protein expression in a laboratory environment.
Practical experience with buffer preparation to support protein expression and purification workflows.
Experience running gels and performing western blotting for protein detection and analysis.
Ability to maintain clear, detailed, and organized laboratory documentation.
Strong communication skills to share results, raise issues, and collaborate effectively with colleagues.
Comfort working in a discovery or preclinical research lab setting without reliance on GMP frameworks.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Familiarity with AKTA chromatography systems for protein purification.
Experience with large-scale purification workflows, including several-liter scale operations.
Experience using gravity columns and loose resins for protein purification.
Background or exposure to discovery and preclinical research environments.
Comfort asking questions, seeking clarification, and contributing to a supportive team culture.
Interest in protein replacement therapy platforms and research targeting rare diseases.
Motivation to grow within a dynamic, early-stage biotech environment and contribute to building lab capabilities.

Work EnvironmentThis role is based on-site, full-time, in a laboratory setting in King of Prussia, PA. You will work in a discovery and preclinical research lab equipped for protein expression, purification, and biophysical characterization, including the use of AKTA chromatography systems, gels, and western blotting equipment. The environment is collaborative and communicative, where team members are encouraged to speak up when something seems off and to ask questions freely. The culture emphasizes mutual support, scientific rigor, and attention to detail without micromanagement, balancing a sense of humor with a strong focus on high-quality experimental work. The position offers the opportunity to contribute to an innovative protein replacement therapy platform in a start-up biotech setting, providing exposure to impactful research on rare diseases.
