Full job description

Overview

We’re looking for a technically capable and reliable Senior/Research Scientist to join our Discovery Team at Sortera Bio. This is a lab-based role focused on the operation of our proprietary Deep Screening technology, and provision of broader support for library preparation, NGS, and hit validation workflows.

You’ll become a core operator of Deep Screening, running experiments from inputs to hit profiling on internal discovery and partnership projects. This role would suit a molecular biologist or antibody engineer with the ability to handle complex processes with consistency and who is looking to apply their skills to a cutting-edge technology at a pivotal point in the platform’s development.

About the role

Deep Screening operations

Run Deep Screening experiments end-to-end on internal and partner projects
Prepare and QC library and protein inputs for screening
Carry out library preparation and NGS workflows
Maintain Deep Screening instruments and reagent stocks
Accurately record and present experimental data, through contributions to project team discussions and Benchling ELN entries
Interpret experimental outcomes using data from Deep Screening and off-platform assays to contribute to hypothesis generation and inform decisions on hit progression
Contribute to the development and improvement of protocols and SOPs, documenting optimisations and new methods as the platform evolves

Library preparation and molecular biology

Carry out routine molecular biology tasks such as gel extractions, qPCR, Gibson assembly, and related techniques
Support display technology selection campaigns as required by project needs
Assist with the preparation and QC of enriched library pools as substrates for Deep Screening

Hit validation and characterisation

Isolate and express antibody hits in relevant formats (e.g. scFv, VHH) using established protocols
Run off-platform binding assays to generate orthogonal validation data for internal and partner projects

As an early-stage company, we expect roles to evolve as we grow. You'll work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment where initiative and attention to detail are valued, and where there are genuine opportunities to expand your technical capabilities.

About you

Essential

Degree in biochemistry, molecular biology, protein engineering, or a closely related discipline. PhD or equivalent industry experience preferred
Experience with antibody/protein or peptide discovery and engineering
Molecular biology skills such as qPCR, Gibson assembly, site-directed mutagenesis, and related techniques
Ability to execute complex laboratory protocols with precision and consistency
Strong attention to detail and commitment to rigorous documentation and data integrity
Good organisational skills and able to manage multiple tasks in a startup environment
Team player with clear communication skills and a proactive approach to science

Desirable

Practical experience with a display technology such as phage, yeast, or ribosome display
Experience with a biophysical characterisation method (e.g. SPR, BLI, MST, or ITC)
Familiarity with NGS library preparation and sequencing data interpretation
Proficiency in Python or equivalent for data analysis
Experience with VHH and scFv antibody formats
Experience with functional assay development (cell-based, biochemical, or immunoassay formats)
Understanding of antibody sequence-function relationships and early-stage hit triage

We value diversity, encourage applications from underrepresented groups, and recognise that people have a wide range of personal circumstances. What matters to us is that you’re a good fit for the role – we are happy to discuss flexibility and any accommodations that may be helpful.
