About this opportunity
At Regeneron, we use science and innovation to develop life-changing medicines for people with serious diseases. We are seeking a highly motivated Associate Scientist to join our Product Biochemistry group, supporting in-depth characterization of therapeutic protein candidates for early-stage developability assessments. In this role, you will be part of a group that broadly participates in pre-clinical candidate developability assessments and technology innovation efforts designed to enhance our understanding of novel protein therapeutics using solution-state and computational approaches.
This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing, science-driven organization making a meaningful difference to patients worldwide.
When & where:
Location: On-site in Tarrytown, NY
What you'll do:
Conduct sample preparation of protein therapeutics to support biochemical and biophysical characterization experiments, measuring heterogeneity, aggregation state, and thermal stability using liquid chromatography, light scattering, and other techniques to elucidate quality attributes of therapeutic candidates for developability assessment
Perform early biochemical and biophysical assessment of novel protein therapeutics, providing input on experimental design and suggesting method optimization to address program needs or characterize attributes of novel protein therapeutics
Analyze data and document experiments, results, and findings in an electronic laboratory notebook; draft protocols, and present work at group and departmental meetings
Comply with lab safety standards and proactively contribute to a clean and safe lab environment
Draft technical documents to support regulatory filings and contribute to drafting peer-reviewed publications, as needed
Maintain instruments, contribute to drafting protocols, troubleshoot instrumental/experimental issues, and order/maintain supplies

Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biophysics, or a related field
Good laboratory practice skills such as preparing samples, buffers, documentation, and maintaining cleanliness
Strong initiative and drive to complete tasks, with the ability and desire to learn new technologies
Capable of working both independently and within a collaborative environment
Excellent oral and written communication skills
Experience with Microsoft Office suite (Excel, Word, and PowerPoint) for analysis and presentation of data
Preferred / nice-to-haves:
Experience with coding/scripting tools such as MATLAB
Experience in automated chromatography (HPLC/UPLC/FPLC), differential scanning calorimetry/fluorimetry (DSC/DSF), spectroscopy (UV-Vis, fluorescence, FTIR, Raman, and/or circular dichroism), and/or static/dynamic light scattering (SLS/DLS/MALS) of protein and/or macromolecules
Familiarity with Excel/MATLAB/JMP to facilitate analysis of complex analytical datasets

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
