We are looking for a passionate and experienced Scientist to join our Assay Development team within Bioanalytical Sciences at CSL Melbourne for a 12 month fixed-term position. You will work with a team of scientists developing novel protein-based therapeutics. You will provide scientific and technical expertise to help deliver project goals, engage with stakeholders and contribute to innovations in analytical development.

Your Responsibilities:

• Develop analytical assays to support the characterisation of protein interactions (eg ELISAs, enzymatic assays, biolayer interferometry).
• Complete analytical development activities (including experimental design, screening, optimisation, robustness testing, etc.).
• Perform protein characterisation activities such as ELISAs, enzymatic assays, luciferase-based assays, biolayer interferometry, SDS-PAGE.
• Perform detailed analyses of experiments plus record-keeping and report-writing activities.
• Provide scientific and technical guidance to stakeholders in Bioprocess Development.

• Degree in a relevant discipline; post-graduate degree preferred
• 3+ years of experience in chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology or a related field.
• Expertise in protein chemistry (hands-on knowledge of ELISAs, enzyme kinetics, chemical equilibria and/or measurement of protein-binding affinities will be especially well-regarded).
• Expertise in developing and performing analytical assays.
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• High attention to detail and problem-solving abilities
