About This Role
This Scientist position supports the development of novel biologic therapeutics. The role is suited to an experienced BS- or MS-level scientist with expertise in flow cytometry, mammalian cell culture, cell-based assays, and human biological samples. The Scientist will design and execute experiments, analyze and interpret data, maintain accurate records, and communicate findings to colleagues and company leadership.
Responsibilities
- Design, execute, analyze, and document cell-based and biochemical experiments supporting therapeutic development
- Perform multiparameter flow cytometry, including sample preparation, staining, acquisition, gating, and analysis using Flow Jo
- Maintain and manipulate mammalian cell lines using rigorous sterile/aseptic technique
- Conduct experiments with human biological samples, including primary cells, blood-derived materials, serum, and plasma
- Develop and perform cell-based bioassays, including viability, cytotoxicity, and cell-death assays
- Perform ELISA and other plate-based assays, including luminescence-based readouts
- Measure cytokines and analyze cytokine-response data
- Perform basic microscopy and imaging
- Support characterization of biologic therapeutics and mechanism-of-action studies
- Organize, graph, analyze, and interpret experimental datasets using appropriate statistical and graphical methods
- Use productivity and AI-enabled tools, including ChatGPT, appropriately for research, data organization, literature analysis, and communication
- Maintain complete, accurate, and traceable laboratory records
- Prepare experimental summaries, figures, presentations, and reports
- Present results and conclusions clearly to scientists and company management
- Collaborate with internal scientists and external research partners
- Contribute to experimental planning, troubleshooting, assay optimization, and method development
Requirements
- BS or MS degree in biology, immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, biomedical sciences, or a related field
- Approximately 4+ years of relevant laboratory experience with a BS or 2+ years with an MS; equivalent combinations of education and experience may be considered
- Hands-on experience with flow cytometry and Flow Jo
- Strong experience with mammalian tissue culture and cell lines
- Experience working with human biological samples
- Strong sterile/aseptic technique
- Experience with cell-based assays, ELISA or similar immunoassays, and quantitative biological experiments
- Experience analyzing, graphing, interpreting, and managing experimental data
