- What Regeneron Pharmaceuticals INC paid sponsored hires in similar roles
- 60 certified filings for “Principal Scientist” (Biochemists and Biophysicists) in NY: $100k–$153k, median $136k. Most were filed at wage level II (85%) — 2 lottery entries, ≈31% projected selection odds for cap-subject employers. Source: US Department of Labor LCA disclosure data (Oct 2025 – Jun 2026).
US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

• Accurately document experimental procedures, analytical results, and conclusions in the electronic laboratory notebook according to established procedures and timelines
• Summarize experimental results in clear technical reports and presentations, and communicate findings at group and project meetings
• Maintain and support laboratory instrumentation used for protein purification and characterization
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to coordinate reagent needs, priorities, and deliverables, and support project timelines
• Manage multiple reagent requests and characterization activities simultaneously while maintaining high standards for scientific quality and documentation
This role requires:
• BS/MS in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Engineering, or a related field, with BS and 8+ years or MS and 6+ years of relevant industry experience
• Strong hands-on experience in protein characterization, purification, and conjugation
• Demonstrated experience with multiple protein analytical techniques such as SDS-PAGE, Western blot, CE-SDS, SEC, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and IEF/cIEF
• Experience with protein purification techniques including affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, size-exclusion chromatography, and FPLC systems
• Strong understanding of fundamental protein biochemistry, including protein stability, aggregation, binding interactions, and the potential impact of chemical modification on protein properties
• Strong laboratory documentation, data organization, and record-keeping skills
• Demonstrated ability to organize and prioritize multiple projects and deliverables in a fast-paced research environment
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently with appropriate guidance
• Strong team player with demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across scientific and functional groups
