Downstream (DSP) Scientist
CV-LibraryIrelandpermanentPosted: 7 April 2026
Apply NowWe are supporting a growing, research-led organisation as they continue to expand and strengthen their downstream processing capabilities.
The Role
This position focuses on the development, optimisation, and transfer of downstream bioprocesses within a GLP-compliant R&D environment. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams, supporting a range of projects across monoclonal antibodies and advanced therapeutic modalities.
Key responsibilities include:
* Supporting downstream process development, optimisation, and tech transfer activities
* Working across key unit operations including chromatography, tangential flow filtration (TFF), and depth filtration
* Contributing to R&D project delivery within a multidisciplinary team (scientists, analysts, engineers)
* Supporting scale-up strategies and broader process development activities
* Preparing technical reports, presentations, and development documentation
* Participating in client discussions around project progress and technical challenges
* Supporting the introduction of new techniques and process improvements
* Maintaining laboratory standards and supporting equipment upkeep in a GLP environment
Requirements
* Industry experience in biopharmaceutical process development, with a focus on downstream processing
* Understanding of chromatography and/or filtration-based unit operations (TFF, depth filtration)
* Experience working within a regulated or structured R&D environment (e.g. GLP)
* Strong technical writing and documentation skills
* Effective communication skills, comfortable working across teams and with stakeholders
* Proactive and adaptable approach, with the ability to manage multiple priorities
