Job no: 497314
College / VP Area:Research Office
Work type: Staff
Location: Newark
Categories: Research & Laboratory, Full Time
Pay Grade: 34E
Context of the Job:
Under the limited direction of the Director of Technical
Operations, the Mass Spectrometry Scientist is responsible for
working with a broad array of mass spectrometry-based analytical
instrumentation in support of diverse projects and samples relevant
to the biopharmaceutical industry at the National Institute for
Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL). The work
will involve 21CFR58 compliant data collection and analysis and
work that is collaborative with cell culture, bioreactor,
analytical, and downstream operations experts.
NIIMBL is a large-scale effort dedicated to supporting the
manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals, and it is established by a
cooperative agreement with the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) as a public/private consortium of a diverse set
of member organizations, including industry, academia, non-profit
organizations, state governments, and federal agencies. NIIMBL is a
member of the Manufacturing USA network of institutes funded by the
federal government to advance United States competitiveness in
advanced manufacturing innovation. Institutionally at the
University of Delaware, NIIMBL reports to the Vice President for
Research, Scholarship & Innovation.
The most high-profile activities that NIIMBL does are the execution
of technical projects to advance the readiness levels of relevant
technologies, assays, and methods. These projects include scopes of
scientific work that generally include many organizations as
partners and collaborators. For example, a project may involve
experimental studies, at a level consistent with best practices
found in the biopharmaceutical industry, and include scientists
from several large and small companies, a scientist from a Federal
agency, and a scientist from a University. Many of these projects
will be hosted at the University of Delaware in a state-of-the-art
laboratory facility purpose-built for such studies. These projects
will involve a diverse set of technologies and approaches and
address drug substance, drug product, and analytical needs by the
industry appropriate to several types of biopharmaceuticals:
vaccines, therapeutic proteins and antibodies, antibody-drug
conjugates, bispecific antibodies, gene therapy vectors, and cell
therapies, among others.
Major Responsibilities
+ Serve as mass spectrometry specialist on multiple projects
involving analytical measurements of samples and materials.
+ Adhere to 21CFR58 GxP guidelines in execution of work.
+ Develop and implement new LC/MS technologies and approaches in
support of assessment of critical quality attributes (CQAs) for
