Scottsdale, United States CND Life Sciences Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

The Pathologist/Senior Pathologist (P/SP) is a key member of CND's growing Pathology Services Group which performs expert reading of immunofluorescent images of patient skin biopsies to help diagnose neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's and dementia with Lewy bodies. The Pathologist brings a diverse set of experience analyzing patient tissue including skin specimens and has familiarity with immunohistochemistry and/or immunofluorescent techniques. While not a requirement, the Pathologist may have specific experience in the field of neuropathology and at a minimum, is attracted to the field of neurodegeneration and novel pathological pathways that are emerging.

Given CND's unique technology and pathological methods, the Pathologist is highly flexible, willing to learn new science and analytical processes, and driven by innovative ways to impact patient care. The P/SP has a history of collaborating effectively with pathology department teammates and serving as an important expert resource for other colleagues including the laboratory technician team. The Pathologist is a consummate professional, has excellent attention to detail and quality, and considers herself/himself as a productive case reader. The Pathologist is also experienced with or highly interested in digital pathology methods and the use of AI-driven tools that may enhance overall reading capabilities for the organization. Ideally, the Pathologist has participated in research projects, has a keen eye for potential process improvements in the laboratory, and may enjoy participating in formal company-sponsored and/or industry clinical studies.

The Pathologist will be guided through an extensive, multi-week CND pathology training program to be "certified" to read and sign out cases for the company's Syn-One Test?, Small-Fiber Dx?, and other diagnostic products (which include multiple stains and biopsy samples per case). On average, each pathologist will be expected to read 15-20 cases per day within the first 4-6 months of experience at the company.

Finally, the Pathologist has a strong academic background in pathology which may include published journal articles and a proven track record with recent employers, including spending multiple years at one or more practices or private sector companies. The Pathologist is excited to join an early-stage, high-growth company and make key contributions to the company's mission.
