This position is ideal for a bench scientist who embraces process discipline, thrives in a collaborative biotech environment, and is eager to expand their skillset in a fast‑paced, startup‑minded team.

• Contribute to the peptide discovery and development process through applying knowledge of molecular biology, genetic engineering, and chemistry to build the next generation of peptide display platforms
• Design and execute peptide library screens for the discovery and optimization of peptide hits for a given biological target of interest
• Validate synthetically made compounds using binding and functional assays
• Optimize properties through re‑screening efforts, structure‑based rational design, and bioconjugation
• Contribute to data analysis, documentation, and scientific discussions across teams
• Demonstrated ability to work cross‑functionally, and excellent organizational, communication and presentation skills
• Present experimental results at internal team meetings
• Periodic travel to Chengdu pup may be required

• A Ph.D. degree and/or postdoctoral research in chemistry, biochemistry, or molecular biology with a strong focus on peptide display and discovery technologies
• 0-5 years of experience in a biotechnology/pharmaceutical company with a demonstrated leadership in peptide discovery and a track record of advancing peptide‑based therapeutics, from concept to clinical development
• Strong hands‑on experience in mammalian cell culture and flow cytometry (FACS)
• Experience with liquid handling systems or automatically develop platforms
• Proficiency in endpoint and kinetic assays (luminescence, fluorescenceಡೆ, activity‑based, imaging‑based)
• Familiarity with protein biophysics and design, including ELISA, BLI, DSF, or similar methods
• Excellent collaboration, documentation, and communication skills
• Demonstrated scientific productivity (publications, presentations, or patents)
• Ability to work effectively in a fast‑paced, cross‑functional environment
• Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States and be available to start immediately

• Experience with biochemical and cell assay design and development to support peptide discovery efforts
• Proficiency in protein structure analysis (e.g., PyMOL, MOE), as well as in protein engineering and library design
• Experience interpreting data from flow cytometry, analytical SEC, LC‑MS, HIC, SPR, and BLI

• Base Salary: USD $72,600–$110,000 per year (Final compensation will be determined based on qualifications, experience, and internal levelingռ)

• Fully Time Employee Annual Performance Incentives Plan
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
