Lilly
Sr. Advisor / Director – Molecular Biology - Biotherapeutics Discovery
Lilly, San Diego, California, United States, 92189
At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our employees around the world work to discover and bring life-changing medicines to those who need them, improve the understanding and management of disease, and give back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. We give our best effort to our work, and we put people first. We’re looking for people who are determined to make life better for people around the world.
We are seeking a highly motivated Molecular Biologist with experience in biotherapeutics discovery to join the Biologics Automation and High Throughput Technologies group at Lilly’s Biotechnology Center in San Diego. The successful candidate will have a deep understanding of molecular biology techniques with industry-based experience in leveraging automation to accelerate, improve and facilitate biotherapeutics discovery.
Responsibilities:
Lead a team of high-performing Molecular Biologists employing state of the art integrated automation workstations and standalone equipment in the execution of high throughput molecular biology procedures to support Lilly’s early-stage biotherapeutics discovery pipeline.
Work collaboratively with protein discovery, engineering, and expression groups at the San Diego site to optimize research efficiencies through implementation of automation process improvements and advanced molecular biology techniques.
Lead the identification, validation, and enablement of novel ultra-high throughput protein-based discovery technologies (e.g., single cell microfluidic technologies, protein microarrays etc.).
Basic Qualifications:
Ph.D. in Biological Sciences (Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Immunology, Biochemistry, or similar field), with at least five years of relevant industry experience in a biotech/pharmaceutical company, OR
M.S. in Biological Sciences with a minimum of 15 years relevant industry experience.
Additional Skills/Preferences:
Experience in
high throughput single cell microfluidic technologies or protein microarrays
for sequencing and functional characterization of proteins is strongly advantageous.
Deep understanding of modern molecular biology techniques including PCR, cloning, vector preparation and host cell manipulation is required.
Familiarity with the use of integrated automation workstations and stand-alone liquid handlers to accelerate, improve and facilitate biotherapeutics discovery is strongly preferred.
A demonstrated record of applying innovative high throughput technologies in the area of antibody discovery and protein engineering.
Previous industry experience in directing the work and managing career development of associate scientists.
Exemplary interpersonal skills including the ability to work with automation engineers and discovery scientists.
Exceptional organizational skills, as exemplified by an aptitude for clear record-keeping and data analysis, as well as the ability to prioritize work across multiple projects.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
