Caprion’s leading and proprietary proteomics discovery technology - CellCarta® - enables the discovery of novel targets for therapeutics development and the identification of novel protein biomarkers that can significantly reduce risk and enhance productivity and decision making in pharmaceutical research.
Caprion is a successful proteomics research company, providing services to many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the US, Europe and Japan in many therapeutic indications. Caprion is also a Clinical Proteomics Center for the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, contracted to identify and validate new diagnostics for globally important pathogens. The company has been in business since 2000 and has 35 employees, most of whom are scientists. One of Caprion’s major investors is Covance, Inc., one of the worlds largest CROs.
Caprion is seeking a highly motivated and
independent scientist experienced in protein and peptide analysis with
a focus on chromatography and mass spectrometry. The successful
candidate will manage and perform studies that involve peptide
profiling by LC-MS, peptide sequencing by MS/MS, and targeted peptide
SRM. Methods development and protocol documentation will also be
important responsibilities. This person will design and conduct
research and interpret and report scientific results and must be able
to work in close collaboration with a cross-functional team of
scientists and bioinformaticians. The candidate must have
excellent oral and written communications skills and be able to prepare
project reports and make presentations both internally and to
clients.
The qualified individual will possess a Ph.D. in chemistry,
biochemistry or related field, along with 3+ years of relevant
experience in protein or peptide mass spectrometry analysis, including
sample preparation and data interpretation. Direct management
experience in life sciences is also desirable. Knowledge of
biomarkers in the context of pharmaceutical development is a plus.
