This role contributes directly to advancing internal and partnered programs while embodying Absci’s values of Innovation, Collaboration, and Determination.
Demonstrated experience leading efforts related to protein engineering and/or structural biology in programs (such as project teams, technical initiatives, or technology development). Track record of scientific and technical contributions to pipeline advancement.
Responsibilities Include:
Scientific Leadership and Collaboration
Lead a multidisciplinary team focused on antibody engineering, structural biology, and binding characterization to support multiple internal and external drug-creation programs.
Mentor scientists and research associates, supporting technical development, scientific excellence, and career growth.
Partner closely with the AI team to align experimental and computational strategies supporting Absci’s generative AI drug-creation platform, including collaboration on model evaluation and establishment of in-silico metrics to assess performance of de novo design and lead optimization efforts.
Serve as the protein engineering lead on cross-functional project teams, partnering with computational biology, analytical development and translational teams to coordinate experiments and maintain alignment on timelines, resources and objectives.
Regularly summarize and present data to internal and external stakeholders to support informed decision-making to advance programs.
Maintain awareness of emerging technologies and the competitive landscape in biologics discovery.
Research and Innovation:
Lead efforts to develop and optimize platforms for mAb and multispecific therapeutics, from design to production, testing, and evaluation.
Rationally design molecules, perform antigen/antibody structural analyses to recommend residue-level changes that improve interaction function, specificity, stability, and manufacturability.

Proficiency in protein structure–function analysis and computational modeling (e.g., Schrödinger, MOE, Rosetta), with hands-on experience designing and optimizing bispecific and multispecific antibodies.
Deep understanding of antibody structure-function relationships, sequence optimization, and expression/purification workflows.
Experience in binding and interaction analyses (e.g., BLI, SPR) and/or biophysical characterization techniques (e.g., analytical SEC, DSF, DLS).
Familiarity with Fc engineering, half-life extension strategies, antibody developability, and immunogenicity assessment.
Experience in deploying AI/ML models for protein sequence and structure analysis to enable biologics design and optimization is a plus.
Demonstrated success progressing one or more biologics programs to lead candidate stage.
Experience managing teams of PhD-level scientists and research associates.
Track record of peer-reviewed publications and/or patent filings.
Excellent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in New York, NY. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How New York compares. Among the 120 largest places in New York, New York is #1 by population, #117 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #115 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #31 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, Kings County, is #38 of 62 counties for average pay ($59,980).
New York has 8,483,844 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 42.7% of the population of New York. It covers 300 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 28,236 people per square mile. The median age is 38.2, 4% younger than the state median (38.2 against 39.8).
The median gross rent is $1,821 a month (rent plus utilities), 12% above the state median ($1,821 against $1,621). Over a year that is 27.2% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $777,600, which is 9.7 times the median household income ($80,483); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 32.8% of households own their home, 40% below the state average (32.8% against 54.4%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metropolitan area has 9,492,000 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $61,430 a year, 20% above the national median ($61,430 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (1,109,360 jobs, median $55,080); healthcare support (843,730 jobs, median $40,100); sales and related (751,110 jobs, median $47,540). The area is most specialised in healthcare support (1.8 times) and legal (1.7 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($171,990) and legal ($150,990). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Kings County was 5.3%. 63.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Kings County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 21.6% drive alone, 44.0% use public transit, 9.2% walk, 16.9% work from home. 41.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 50% above the state average (41.2% against 27.4%).
41.6% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 4% above the state share (41.6% against 40.2%). 36.6% of residents were born outside the United States, 61% above the state share (36.6% against 22.8%). The poverty rate is 17.9%, 28% above the state rate (17.9% against 14.0%).
The warmest month is Jul, averaging 75°F (23.7°C), and the coolest is Jan at 34°F (1.1°C). About 1,313 mm (52 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (133 mm) and Feb the driest (95 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Hoboken (7 miles, rent 61% higher); Jersey City (7 miles, rent 10% higher); Union City (9 miles, rent 16% lower); Bayonne (9 miles, rent 8% lower). Rent differences are against New York; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
