Scientist, Proteomics/Mass Spectrometry Requisition #901

Sutro Biopharma, Inc., located in South San Francisco, is a biopharmaceutical company that uses its patented OCFS protein
synthesis technology to develop next-generation protein therapeutics for the treatment of human disease. This commercially
scalable technology overcomes important limitations associated with mammalian, yeast, and bacterial systems and allows for
faster screening and selection of product candidates without the need to develop cell lines. Sutro is applying its technology
to the development of next-generation, non-native protein structures such as antibody fragments, single-chain antibodies, and
other proteins with novel scaffolds. We are also working to provide novel functionalities to our core technology with a goal of
further improving the therapeutic benefit of the products we make.

Sutro Biopharma, Inc. is expanding and is looking for energetic and talented individuals to join its multidisciplinary
research and development team. You will be working to maximize our core technology and internal and collaborative product development initiatives in a fast paced environment. We are seeking a Scientist who will be responsible for instrument maintenance, data collection and analysis of complex E. coli proteome and metabolome samples critical to further development of our proprietary cell-free technology and protein discovery efforts. Responsibilities: Operate and assist in the maintenance of the analytical laboratory. The primary analytical technology is
based on electrospray ionization coupled to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS and LC-MS/MS) using
Q-TOF and/or Orbitrap. Conduct sample preparations from E coli extracts. Develop, optimize and carry out analytical assays.
Record, analyze and report experimental data. Provide analysis results to various groups within the company with emphasis on label-free
differential quantification and identification of proteins and metabolites. Perform HTP screening of diverse protein, RNA, and peptide samples.
Prepare various reagents for sample preparation and analysis, as needed.

Qualifications:


* PhD degree in analytical biochemistry or scientific related field and 2-4 years of postdoctoral or industry related experience is preferred.
* Knowledge of HPLC and mass spectrometry principles.
* Skills in protocol optimization for biochemical analysis.
* Hands on experiences in operating electrospray-based LC/MS system is required.
* Proficiency in computer software related to biochemical analysis including database searches with Mascot/Sequest.
* Experience with high throughput screening and automation is desirable.
* Ability to manage analytical data and integration into laboratory information management systems.
* Strong written and oral communication skills, including the ability to present research to audiences at a variety of levels.
* Knowledge of utilization of various gene/protein databases, bioinformatics tools, and computer skills including minor VBA programming is desired.
* A good publication record and some experience in identification of small molecules are preferred.


Sutro provides a competitive benefits package that includes a choice of health, vision, and dental insurance, life insurance,
flexible spending accounts, 401K plan, vacation, and stock options.
