We are seeking an Associate Director - Analytical Development to lead the development of analytical methods for a class of recombinant pMHC proteins and an active drug substance referred to as Navacims, where the pMHC protein is coupled to a nanoparticle.  The development of these methods represents a significant technical challenge given the novelty of the pMHC proteins and Navacims.  The scope includes establishing a complete network of assays to release and characterize the pMHC proteins and Navacim drug substances and products for clinical use.  This will be accomplished by collaborating with Parvus research to establish selected novel biological assays, as well as driving transfer of assays and all development activities through a virtual CRO/CMO network.  After development, methods will be qualified and validated at CRO/CMOs as needed for Quality Control testing to enable GMP manufacturing or used for characterization testing in support of regulatory filings.  The Associate Director will oversee the progression of the methods from the concept phase to their end use as a QC or characterization method.  The Associate Director will also work closely with other Parvus CMC functions in process and formulation development to ensure timely support of these activities and alignment of methods with process and stability requirements.  This individual must have the ability to quickly understand business and technical issues, and to build effective plans to mitigate risk and ensure timely progress and successful completion of analytical development and testing activities.  This position reports to Vice President - Process Sciences and Manufacturing.   Compensation and title will be commensurate with experience level.
