Position/Job Summary:

We are looking for a highly motivated Research Scientist I to develop and conduct biochemical and cellular assays used to evaluate potential therapeutics.

We also employ robotic automation to enable high throughput screening. This position works with an interdisciplinary team of DMPK scientists, pharmacologists, and analytical chemists. It is lab-based, collaborative, and client-facing. While delivering accurate, scientifically sound results is our priority, we pride ourselves in being exceptionally responsive and flexible for our clients, using creativity to meet their early-phase drug discovery goals.

Roles & Responsibilities:

  • Plan and run defined protocols for various 96-well and 384-well plate-based assays daily.

  • PhD in cell biology, biochemistry, or related field with extensive academic and/or industry lab experience required.
  • Industry-based lab experience not required for Entry Level candidates.
  • Experience with ELISA, cell culture, cellular assays, and gene expression.
  • Prior experience developing assays with colorimetric, luminescence, and fluorescence readouts as well as multi-color flow cytometry.
  • Previous experience in a discovery project is highly desired.
  • Understanding of drug discovery processes would be helpful.
  • Excellent organization, planning, and communication skills.
  • Critical attributes: attention to detail, self-motivated, willingness to ask questions.
