provider solution, which is a unique partnership that allows our customers to leverage the experience of our staff, while allowing you, the employee, to gain direct experience working onsite at a medical/ biomedical company, all while maintaining full-time benefits.

Essential Functions: The target client is a leading medical group responsible for the development of CHO based production cell lines, next-gen cell line engineering efforts and baseline upstream process development for innovative recombinant protein/adjuvanted vaccine projects and platforms. The target client is looking for a motivated professional, specialized in mammalian cell culture science (primary CHO). This role will

play a significant role in shaping current and next generation leading vaccine platforms to accelerate addressing unmet medical needs, an exciting field having a direct impact into patients and global health.

This role provides the opportunity to integrate a diverse group of top talented experts in vaccines' industry, lead key activities and further grow and progress in your career. Main core responsibilities: Implementation of state-of-art high throughput upstream process tools (AMBRs) to evaluate the process suitability of CHO cell lines for commercial manufacture of recombinant protein vaccine products. Serve as a key team player to support project documentation and CMC regulatory

submissions (including raw material control section and cell line derivation report) Education and Experience: Bachelor's degree in a degree related in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, Bioengineering, or a related scientific field.

Previous industry experience that provides the knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the job: Bachelor's degree 4+ years of experience Qualifications: Hands-on experience with aseptic mammalian (CHO cell preferred) cell line development. Hands-on experience with benchtop bioreactor operation Good understanding with mammalian fed batch process. Experience with good documentation practices and reports as evidenced by successful execution of pipeline projects, conference proceeding and peer-review publication.

In some cases, an equivalency, consisting of a combination of appropriate education, training and/or directly related experience, will be considered sufficient for an individual to meet the requirements of the role. Preferred Qualifications: Prior experience in the cell culture for commercial vaccines and biologicals production with a strong CMC understanding. Prior experience in the high-throughput robotic cell culture tools (AMBR15, AMBR250, Cedex and Novaflex), or other high-throughput robotic system.

Experience with common protein-based analytic assays (including western-blot and ELISA ) for early product quantity and quality backssment to support cell line selection. Working Environment: PPD values the health and well being of our employees. We support and encourage individuals to create a healthy and balanced environment where they can thrive. Below is listed the working environment/requirements for this role: Able to communicate, receive, and understand information and ideas with diverse groups of people in a comprehensible and reasonable manner. Able to work upright and stationary and/or standing for typical working hours.

Able to lift and move objects up to 25 pounds Able to work in non-traditional work environments. Able to use and learn standard office equipment and technology with proficiency. May have exposure to potentially hazardous elements, including infectious agents, typically found in healthcare or laboratory environments. Able to perform successfully under pressure while prioritizing and handling multiple projects or activities.
