Scientist I

The successful applicant will be responsible for conducting managing projects that support the preclinical research and development activities for novel immunotherapies as part of a multi-disciplinary team of chemists, immunologists, and engineers. The position will require the successful applicant to plan, execute and analyze in vitro and in vivo studies with a focus on immune readouts. Data collection will require the use of flow cytometry and other immune technologies. The resulting data will inform the development of vaccines for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, cancer or infectious disease. The successful applicant will be required to communicate the results of experimentation through written and oral reports. Likewise, the successful applicant will be required to understand the broader context of the work and plan next steps within that framework.

Key responsibilities include

• Plan and manage research experiments related to an overall project goal
• Perform preclinical studies to include processing of blood and tissue samples, cell culture, flow cytometry, ELISA, data acquisition
• Analyze acquired data, synthesize findings, and recommend next steps in regular written and oral presentations
• Ensure good record keeping
• Teach others to ensure successful execution of wet lab work
• Work with the research team to help design research studies in vivo and in vitro
• Interface with the chemistry team to set priorities for synthesis and testing of candidate immunotherapies

Essential knowledge, experience, and skills

• Ph.D. in immunology, biology, or related discipline
• At least 3 years of lab experience in the conduct of immunological assays, preferably including:
  • Preparation of immune cells from animal or human tissues and cell cultures
  • Flow cytometry (staining, collection, and analysis)
  • Cell culture
  • ELISAs (preferred)
• The ability to work collaboratively in a dynamic team environment
• Experience using SOPs and operating under quality systems
• Experience in data management, analysis, and presentation
