Proxima provides strategic principal investments, governance advisory, and structured alternative solutions. Build long-term resilience for your digital asset venture.
About the role
NeoLink is Neo’s bridge to the physical world: we leverage proteomics to directly assay molecular interactions at an amino-acid level of resolution, enabling a feedback loop where machine-learning models directly explore and learn from biology. As a Proteomics Scientist, you will play a critical role in building out NeoLink and advancing critical R&D workflows for data generation and internal programs.
What they're looking for
- Excellent sample preparation skills for mass spectrometry-based proteomics
- Experience in structural proteomics (cross-linking, covalent footprinting) or chemical proteomics (activity/affinity-based protein profiling, affinity selection)
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment
- Expertise in handling and maintaining LC and MS instruments, in particular Thermo Fisher Neo Vanquish LC systems and Orbitrap or Astral mass spectrometers
- Knowledge of proteomic data analysis methods and software tools
- Ability to accurately and reliably document and present scientific data
More about this role
We're not able to support remote or hybrid arrangements for this position
Proxima (formerly VantAI) is discovering the next generation of proximity therapeutics by making protein interactions programmable. Our platform brings together frontier AI models, a scalable data generation engine, and a partnership track record exceeding $5B in collaborations across the world’s leading biopharma and tech organizations. We’ve recently closed an oversubscribed seed round with an elite group of VCs including DCVC, NVIDIA’s NVentures, AIX, Yosemite among others.
Neo is our all-atom foundation model that combines state-of-the-art structure prediction and molecular generation in a single system. Neo enables rapid exploration of chemical and structural space for high value, previously intractable targets, and in particular unlocks small molecule proximity therapeutics like molecular glues with AI for the first time.
In parallel, we are developing an advanced structural interactomics platform ( NeoLink ) built on proprietary proteomics technology and a lab equipped with next-generation mass spectrometry instrumentation. This platform produces proteome-scale maps of protein interactions and...
