MedImmune is the worldwide biologics research and development arm of AstraZeneca. Here, you’ll have the opportunity
to make a difference in people’s lives every day. As one of the world’s premier biotechnology companies, our mission is centered on delivering life-changing products that advance world health, and help fight and cure disease. We’re constantly pushing the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing
medicines to patients, with a passion for discovery and a pipeline to show for it. We’re pioneering innovative research and exploring novel pathways across key therapeutic areas including oncology, respiratory, inflammation and autoimmunity, cardiovascular
and metabolic disease, and infection and vaccines. And we’re industry-leading in immunology, protein engineering and translational science. We offer a unique and strong collaborative network as part of the AstraZeneca family, as together we explore synergies
between small and large molecules.
Main Duties and Responsibilities Major responsibilities include planning and executing experiments related to developing protein engineering platforms
for therapeutic antibody generation and optimization. She/he will work with scientists to create research plans, execute experiments, analyze and interpret data and present results to the group and the department. She/he is expected to have a strong work ethic,
excellent organizational skills and keep good records. Strong team-based communication and presentation skills will be required. Essential Requirements
