Princeton, United States RICOVR Healthcare Full time

RICOVR Healthcare is an innovative, early-stage biotech start-up dedicated to revolutionizing point-of-care and home health diagnostics. We are a venture-backed, NIH-funded company named one of the Top 10 technology startups in Princeton in 2022 and one of the top 26 startups in Business Insiders in 2021.


Currently, a gap exists between point-of-care and lab-based diagnostics. Existing point-of-care diagnostic technologies are qualitative, lacking sensitivity and accuracy. In contrast, clinical lab-based technologies are expensive and require trained personnel, large equipment, and time-consuming sample analysis. RICOVR Healthcare aims to fill this gap by achieving the sensitivity, accuracy, and quantification of lab-based machines in a portable, low-cost platform that enables true point-of-care application for a wide range of health and diagnostic markers.


RICOVR Healthcare’s platform technology utilizes a novel optic biosensor combined with functionalized plasmonic nanoparticles to enable quantitative immunoassays at the point-of-care. We are at an inflection point in bringing this technology to market and seek to expand our scientific team. If you want to be part of commercializing a new technology at the interface of biology, chemistry, engineering, and healthcare while working with innovative and driven colleagues, then you should reach out to us


As a Senior Scientist, Assay Development at RICOVR Healthcare, you will provide tactical execution on our highest priority initiatives. You will work collaboratively with a diverse team across scientific and engineering disciplines towards launching our first commercial product, including production scale-up and clinical validation studies. You will also be involved in developing new assays on RICOVR Healthcare’s platform. These responsibilities will require hypothesis-driven research, rigorous data collection, adherence to quality and regulatory standards, problem-solving to achieve objectives in creative and effective ways,

and hands-on lab work.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conceptualize, design, and carry out experiments following good scientific principles and safe laboratory practices
  • Lead research projects toward the development of new biosensor assays
  • Method development to support immunoassay commercialization, including test validation, product stability, and clinical studies
  • Implement GLP standards and set up SOPs with production partners
  • Work cooperatively with other members of the R&D team and across departments to achieve project milestones
  • Communicate results and ideas clearly to a diverse audience
  • Mentor and supervise junior scientists

Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, chemical biology, biomedical engineering, or related discipline
  • Must be able to reside in New Jersey and work in the Princeton office
  • Demonstrated ability to design and execute an independent research project
  • 3+ years of experience in immunoassay development such as ELISA, LFA, or SPR design and optimization: past success in assay commercialization is a plus
  • Knowledge and practical experience with protein modification, nanoparticle conjugation, and immunoassay surface biofunctionalization strategies
  • Familiarity with the implementation of proper QA/QC procedures for production of in vitro diagnostics
  • Handling of biological and chemical reagents in an accurate and safe manner
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
