Työnimike: Junior Scientist

Työnkuvaus:
KCT is newly formed research center based in Kuopio, Finland. We undertake pioneering high-quality basic and translational research in the new and exciting area of Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products (ATMPs). Our scientific teams combine scientific know-how gained from years' experience in the sector and the latest technologies to research and develop gene and cell therapy products into Phase I human studies.

We undertake science in collaboration with academic groups all over the world and also have access to FinVector's GMP manufacturing facility in Finland as well as their quality and regulatory teams to ensure a product path from research to patients. KCT's main therapeutic focuses are cancer and cardiovascular disease, but our scope of interest is not fixed and we also evaluate wider areas, such as neurological dysfunction, for other important therapy approaches.

We are looking for a Junior Scientist for upstream (US) and downstream (DS) process development team.

KCT DS process development is focusing to improve the platforms and methods to concentrate and purify viral vectors. Typically Adeno-, Lenti- and AAV-viral vectors are produced in small lab scale bioreactors or in Pilot area for scale-up. Purification processes are performed typically in clarification filtration, Tangential flow filtration and in chromatography steps.

Junior Scientist would be responsible for taking care of the laboratory basic functions and to participate in DS process development with the team. The job requires know how on US and DS techniques such as bioreactors, TFF and chromo and the ability to operate equipment independently after adequate training. Suitable candidate has either an University degree or has obtained the needed skills through several years of work experience. Previous experience working with different filtration, TFF and chromatography systems is seen as an advantage. Analytical and upstream process development experience should also be useful. The nature of process development requires ability to cope with changing situations and a mindset willing to face and overcome challenges.

In addition to challenges we offer modern facilities, inspiring atmosphere and skillful team with good motivation. Our goal is to develop GMP ready processes for the future. Would you like to be part of it?
