What you will do

Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. Job Description

Amgen is seeking a hardworking and motivated Scientist with expertise in liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry-based proteomics to join the Discovery Attribute Sciences team at South San Francisco. In this vital role you will conduct quantitative discovery and targeted proteomics studies in support of Amgen’s Induced Proximity Platform, with a focus on the biological characterization of novel modality early candidates including proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) and molecular glues. Demonstrated expertise in sample preparation, data analysis, and quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic technologies is essential.

Discovery Attribute Sciences is tasked with developing and implementing proteomic and protein characterization technologies in support of Amgen’s early discovery pipeline.

Responsibilities will include experimental design and implementation of complex proteomics workflows involving sample preparation, chromatographic separations, and mass spectrometric analysis. Quantitative discovery as well as targeted workflows will be employed involving label-free analyses, isobaric labeling, selected reaction monitoring, and data-independent acquisition (DIA). The successful candidate will be expected to work across both genomic and proteomic platforms for data integration, mining, and pathway analysis, utilizing available external resources where appropriate.
