About Abselion

Abselion is a life science tools company headquartered in Cambridge, UK, working on the next generation of analytical technologies. We have developed a benchtop analytical instrument, called Amperia, which uses proprietary Redox Electrochemical Detection (RED) technology to quantify proteins and viral vectors directly from crude samples in minutes, without purification, and without specialist training.

We work with teams across protein expression, process development and in academia, biotech and pharma across the globe who are tired of waiting days for analytical results that should take minutes.

We are a team who care deeply about the science, move quickly, and believe that the best outcomes come from genuinely understanding and helping customers solve real problems.

The role

As an Associate Application Scientist, you'll combine hands-on scientific lab work with direct customer interaction. This is an ideal hybrid entry level role for a scientist with a commercial mindset. Your time will be split between contributing to the development of new applications of Amperia at the bench and supporting customers through technical conversations.

You will work closely with Field Application Scientists and the wider Sales & Marketing team, helping qualify and nurture opportunities, while building the bench experience that grounds every customer conversation in real product knowledge. You will attend conferences and field events alongside a senior team member, learning first-hand how we engage customers in person. You will be based onsite at our Cambridge office, with occasional international travel.

Key responsibilities

  • Contribute to the development of new applications of Amperia, and build hands-on product and assay knowledge in the process.
  • Respond to and nurture inbound customer enquiries, understanding their workflows and technical challenges.
  • Support customer engagement campaigns, helping translate scientific interest into qualified conversations.
  • Attend conferences and field events alongside a senior team member, supporting logistics and building first-hand customer-facing experience.
  • Feed structured customer feedback back to the Science, Product and Sales teams.

Must haves

  • Must be able to travel to the UK and other European countries, as well as the US, and Canada.
  • Willingness to travel occasionally for up to 25% of your workdays.
  • Valid driver's licence and access to a car, and willingness to use it for UK field events. The travel is fully reimbursed.
  • The role involves transporting and setting up the instrument at field events and conferences. Candidates should be comfortable handling equipment weighing up to 20 kg.

Experience & skills

Essential

  • Minimum MSc in biochemistry or related field.
  • Lab experience and handling of protein samples.
  • Experience with one or more of the following: ELISA, SPR, BLI, or other binding assays.
  • Competent user of Microsoft Office.
  • Basic knowledge of Matlab or Python is a plus.
  • We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.

What we offer

  • Dynamic and fast-paced work environment in a growing Series A biotech.
  • Be part of a great team working at the intersection of biology, engineering, and data science.
  • Salary £35,000 - £39,000 plus a discretionary, performance-based bonus.
  • Share option scheme.
  • Travel and equipment costs fully covered.

Start date October 2026 or by arrangement.

Primary location Cambridge, UK (field-based).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
