Downstream Process Development Scientist 12-month maternity cover | Darlington | £32,500 – £40,500 per annum + attractive benefits About the Role: We are seeking a hands-on Downstream Process Development Scientist to join a bioprocessing team in Darlington on a 12-month maternity cover. This is a practical, lab-based role focused on the design, development, and optimisation of downstream purification processes for advanced biologics. You will play a key role in delivering DSP activities across a range of modalities, including viral vectors and nucleic acid-based products, in a fast-moving and highly experimental environment. Reporting into the DSP leadership team, you will be expected to hit the ground running in the lab — running experiments, solving problems, and adapting processes, as projects evolve. This role suits someone who enjoys flexibility and scientific creativity rather than rigid, highly constrained environments. The role is based on-site in Darlington, working as part of an established DSP team of approximately 11 scientists. What You’ll Be Responsible For: Downstream Process Development • Design, develop, and optimise downstream purification processes for biopharmaceutical products, • Carry out hands-on laboratory experimentation and pilot-scale DSP runs, • Apply chromatography and filtration techniques to improve yield, purity, and robustness Chromatography & Filtration • Operate and develop chromatography methods using ÄKTA systems, • Design and optimise chromatographic purification strategies, • Apply tangential flow filtration (TFF) and related DSP technologies Analytical & Data Interpretation • Analyse and interpret experimental data using appropriate techniques, • Maintain high-quality experimental records using ELN and document management systems, • Present experimental conclusions clearly for internal and external stakeholders Collaboration & Laboratory Operations • Work closely with upstream, analytical, and project teams to deliver customer programmes, • Contribute to the efficient operation of the DSP laboratory, including equipment care and maintenance, • Support scale-up, knowledge transfer, and process troubleshooting activities About You: You are a practical downstream processing scientist who enjoys being in the lab and is comfortable working in an evolving, sometimes ambiguous research and development environment. You bring curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to try different approaches — and you’re not phased by processes that aren’t fully defined from day one. You’ll bring: • Hands-on experience in downstream processing gained in industry or academia, • Strong, practical experience using ÄKTA chromatography systems, • Experience designing and optimising chromatography-based purification processes, • Familiarity with purification techniques including primary separation, clarification and TFF, • Flexibility to adjust working hours around experimental needs Desirable (but not essential): • Experience working with a variety of recombinant proteins, viral vectors, DNA/RNA-based products, • Experience in early-stage, development-focused or non-rigid GMP environments Applicants from academia are welcome, provided you have strong hands-on ÄKTA and purification experience. Why Join? • A genuinely hands-on laboratory role with real scientific ownership, • Exposure to emerging modalities and advanced bioprocessing technologies, • A collaborative team that values experimentation and problem-solving, • Opportunity for the role to convert to permanent, • Competitive salary (£32.5k–£40.5k) Location & Working Pattern • Based on-site in Darlington, • Flexible working hours aligned to experimental requirements

Scientist I – Bioprocessing x2 Darlington (National Biologics Manufacturing Centre) | On-site | £26,939 – £34,939 About the Role: We are seeking two Scientists (Bioprocessing) to join our National Biologics Manufacturing Centre in Darlington. This is a unique cross-team role designed to give early-career scientists end-to-end exposure across biologics process development, including Upstream (USP), Downstream (DSP), and Analytical functions. This is a great opportunity to work across teams — building a broad understanding of how biologics are developed, processed, and characterised. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop a well-rounded skillset across the full bioprocessing pipeline, working on a variety of modalities including monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, mRNA, and viral vectors. What You’ll Be Responsible For: Cross-Team Bioprocessing Support • Support projects across:, • Upstream processing (cell culture, fermentation), • Downstream processing (purification, chromatography), • Analytical testing and characterisation, • Rotate across teams or work on integrated projects spanning multiple areas Upstream & Downstream Activities • Assist with cell culture and/or fermentation processes, • Support purification processes including chromatography, filtration, and buffer exchange, • Contribute to scale-up and process development activities Analytical & Data • Support basic analytical testing to monitor product quality and process performance, • Compile and interpret data, contributing to reports and project deliverables, • Ensure accurate documentation and data integrity Collaboration & Project Delivery • Work closely with multidisciplinary teams across the organisation, • Contribute to delivery of multiple concurrent projects, • Support external-facing programmes, including communicating results to stakeholders Laboratory & Operational Support • Maintain laboratory equipment and support general lab operations, • Perform routine checks, calibrations, and housekeeping activities About You You are an early-career scientist or recent graduate with a strong interest in biologics and a desire to build a broad technical foundation. You’ll bring: • A degree (or equivalent) in a relevant scientific discipline, • Basic understanding of one or more of the following:, • Cell culture / upstream processing, • Protein purification / downstream processing, • Analytical techniques (e.g. ELISA, qPCR, chromatography), • Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn, • Good communication skills, with confidence presenting data Desirable (but not essential): • Hands-on experience in bioprocessing or biologics (USP, DSP, or analytical), • Exposure to laboratory environments or academic research projects, • Interest in developing across multiple technical areas rather than specialising early This role is ideal for someone who: • Wants to gain end-to-end understanding of biologics development, • Is flexible and happy to work across teams, • Is motivated, curious, and keen to develop in a fast-paced environment Why Join? • Unique opportunity to build experience across USP, DSP, and Analytical in one role, • Exposure to cutting-edge biologics and advanced therapies, • Strong foundation for long-term career development in bioprocessing, • Collaborative, supportive team environment, • Competitive salary (£26.9k–£34.9k) Location & Working Pattern • Based on-site in Darlington (Nigel Perry Building), • Fully lab-based role with hands-on experimental work The Opportunity This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the start of their career to gain breadth of experience that is difficult to access elsewhere, building a strong foundation across the full biologics value chain while working on impactful, real-world projects. Unfortunately we aren't taking any applications from candidates who will require sponsorship now or in the future for these roles.
