Scientist - Immunology

Role Summary

This role will contribute to assay development and execution using whole blood, primary cells, and flow cytometry–based readouts. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience with in vitro biology techniques, strong experimental rigor, and the ability to manage multiple concurrent assay workflows.

Responsibilities

• Design, execute, and troubleshoot in vitro cellular biology experiments to investigate disease-relevant biology and mechanisms of action of small-molecule candidates using flow cytometry and biochemical readouts
• Develop and optimize medium- to high-throughput cellular assays for evaluating small-molecule inhibitors in mouse and human systems
• Perform whole blood–based assays and cytokine profiling
• Isolate, culture, and maintain primary and immortalized cell lines from mouse and human sources
• Analyze, interpret, and clearly communicate experimental results to project leads and cross-functional teams
• Maintain accurate, well-organized experimental records and protocols in electronic lab notebooks
• Work independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary research teams

Qualifications

• Required: BS or MS in immunology, biology, or a related field with 3+ years of laboratory experience (primarily in industry settings)

Skills

• Hands-on experience with immunoassay platforms (ELISA, Ella, MSD, or Luminex)
• Experience with cell lines, whole blood, and primary cell isolation and culture
• Experience with flow cytometry and analysis software (e.g., FlowJo)
• Familiarity with data analysis tools (e.g., GraphPad Prism)
• Strong quantitative and organizational skills
• Demonstrated ability to learn new assay platforms, troubleshoot experiments, and manage multi-step workflows
• Excellent record-keeping and communication skills, with a proven ability to work collaboratively
• Experience with small-molecule drug development
• Experience with multi-assay or high-throughput workflows
