Description:

• Ideal candidate: Recent PHD graduate or a M.S. 3-4 YOE. Technical skills: Recent cell culture experience, plate based assays, imaging experience, flow cytometry. Basic research project experience.
• Scientist who supports our Emerging Modalities group. In this interdisciplinary role, you will join a fast-paced, cross-functional product team focused on discovering new treatment strategies for human diseases.
• Routinely culture and manipulate workhorse cell lines with the highest cell culture etiquette
• Support ongoing early-stage discovery projects by developing appropriate cell-based assays for hit validation and mechanism of action studies.
• Develop and perform cell-based complementation assays such as split systems (Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) and Bimolecular Luminescence Complementation (BiLC)) and Co-immunoprecipitation assays as needed by the projects.

Basic Qualifications:

• PhD degree in cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related field with applicable training/experience as demonstrated by recent jobs/publication records

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience in mammalian cell culture, cell-based functional assay, transfection, transduction, cell engineering, flow cytometry, western, qPCR, MSD, high-throughput screening, or similar biochemical assays or cell and molecular biology techniques
• Prior knowledge and experience in supporting projects that involve sample preparation for FACS, FACS data collection and analysis, antibody staining, immunofluorescence, and confocal microscopy can also be highly valuable.
• Be highly proficient in planning and conducting day-to-day experiments to generate high-standard data and analyze them as needed to create reports for broader team sharing and keep detailed records of all activities on time.
• Self-motivated to drive the project tasks and troubleshoot them without frequent guidance
