Position Summary:
The Scientist role is a technical expert supporting the Cellular Therapy product portfolio, performing hands-on laboratory experiments in support of QC analytical methods (bioassay, flow cytometry, and/or molecular biology).
Duties/Responsibilities:
- Provide analytical expertise for QC lab investigations, supporting root-cause analysis, CAPA, method remediations, and bench studies.
- Independently execute experiments per protocols/objectives; contribute to data analysis/documentation; collaborate cross-functionally.
- Present findings and progress updates; support technical reports/presentations.
- Support commercial method transfer and method validation under global regulatory requirements.
- Steward bioassay/flow cytometry/molecular methods in Cell Therapy Quality; implement method lifecycle/maintenance programs.
- Author/revise/review technical documents (test methods, SOPs, trend/investigation reports).
- May lead projects, CAPA, and deviation/investigation and continuous improvement efforts.
- May support regulatory analytical sections, respond to health authority questions, and act as method validation/transfer expert during inspections.
- May partner on development/qualification studies, reagent selection/characterization, and method optimization.
- Perform other tasks as assigned.
Qualifications:
- BS in relevant scientific discipline required; MS/PhD preferred.
- 6+ years relevant analytical experience (GMP/regulatory and cellular/gene therapy preferred).
- Expertise in bioassay (potency/reporter/cell counting), flow cytometry (platforms/standardization, multiparameter, antibody titration), and molecular biology (lentiviral/AAV and other gene delivery).
- Hands-on lab proficiency.
- Experience with analytical method lifecycle (transfer, validation, critical reagents, maintenance) and training/instrument standardization.
- cGMP experience in Quality Control.
- Knowledge of FDA/EMA/ICH/USP/EP guidelines for viral vectors/cell therapies/vaccines/biologics.
- Strong time management, initiative, and ability to work independently and in teams.
- Strong technical writing (SOPs, method validation protocols/reports).
- Effective communication; ability to travel to BMS/partner sites required.
Compensation/Benefits (as stated):
- Devens, MA: $99,380–$120,428; Seattle, WA: $102,170–$123,806.
- Health coverage; wellbeing support; 401(k) and other financial protections; paid time off (including flexible time off/paid vacation depending on location).
Application:
- If you’re intrigued but don’t fully match, you are encouraged to apply anyway.
