The Role
As our new Research Associate in the Lead Generation team, you will become part of the Antibody Discovery & Lead Optimization department. Together, these teams fuel Genmab's discovery pipeline by delivering the building blocks that enable the development of new antibody-based therapies.
This is a hands-on laboratory role where you will contribute to the generation of high-quality antibody panels that form the foundation of our Antibody Discovery projects. Working alongside Scientists and Research Associates, you will apply a broad range of techniques, including Flow Cytometry (FACS), B-cell technologies, and virus-like particle production, while ensuring experiments, materials, and data are delivered to a high quality standard.
We're looking for a motivated and well-organized colleague who enjoys laboratory work, can plan their own activities effectively, and takes pride in delivering accurate documentation alongside high-quality scientific results. If you enjoy working in a collaborative environment where no two projects are the same, we'd love to hear from you.
Help us get to know you and submit your CV and motivation letter!
