scientist in vitro immunology.

What you will do:

• Plan and execute experiments: Design, perform, and analyze in vitro and ex vivo studies to advance drug discovery projects and generate publishable insights.
• Contribute scientifically: Engage in study design discussions and data interpretation; present findings, rationale, and recommendations.

Accountability:

• Hands-on work: Conduct in vitro and ex vivo analyses from rodent studies alongside a team of committed scientists.
• Data responsibility: Uphold the highest standards of data integrity, quality control, and archiving.
• Communication: Evaluate and interpret primary data; write reports and summaries; present in team and project meetings.

Essential for the role:

• Master’s in biology or related field
• Flow cytometry expertise: At least 5 years’ experience with routine FACS on mouse samples, including organ processing/digestion, staining, antibody panel design; proficiency with BD FACSDiva instruments and FlowJo.
• Cellular/molecular techniques: Ability to independently plan, execute, and analyze protein expression/activation assays (ELISA, Western blot, Meso Scale Discovery) and RNA analysis (extraction, qRT PCR).
• Data and statistics: Understanding of statistical methods, quality control, reporting, and data archiving.
• Communication: Excellent written and spoken English; strong presentation skills.

Desirable for the role:
