W2 Contract-to-Hire

Salary Range:
$93,600 - $114,400 per year

Location:
Redwood City, CA - Onsite Role

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Use immunology techniques to perform cutting-edge studies,
  in vitro
  and
  ex vivo
  , to interrogate key scientific questions about established or candidate drug targets and therapeutic mechanisms.
• Support immune biomarker identification to inform patient selection for monotherapy and combination therapy strategies.
• Collaborate with biochemists, cell biologists and pharmacologists and other members of the scientific team to generate new models and novel insights that fuel drug development.
• Manage and analyze experimental data and present experimental results at internal meetings and scientific conferences.
• In this lab-based role, you will:
• Execute experimental strategies, using cellular and molecular immunological techniques, to investigate target biology and therapeutic mechanisms of action in
  in vitro
  and
  ex viv
  o immuno-oncology models.
• Expand our immune-based assay toolbox by implementing new technologies.

Requirements and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or Master's degree in Science with 3+ years of experience in a cell biology/cellular assay development role. Title will be adjusted according to experience.
• Deep expertise with mammalian cell culture across a variety of cell types (primary and immortalized) and growth conditions. Demonstrated experience handling (maintaining, passaging, plating) multiple cell lines at once.
• Deep expertise with multi-color flow cytometry-based assays
• Hands-on experience with primary immune cells, including human PBMC handling, isolation and differentiation
• Hands-on experience with
  ex vivo
  experiments, including murine tissue collection, dissociation, and processing for downstream applications
• Rigorous, quantitative, attention to detail, keen to maximize efficiency.
• Highly organized, and excellent record keeping skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to facilitate collaboration with project and departmental teams.
• Innovative, proactive team-player with high energy who will thrive in our fast-paced drug discovery and development environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with spectral flow cytometers
• Immuno-oncology assays including immune cell phenotypic and functional characterization (T cell proliferation, suppression and killing assays, antigen presentation assays, phagocytosis assays, etc.)
• Incucyte cell-based assays
