Scientist, Bioscience Immunology

Introduction to role

Are you driven to transform cutting-edge immunology into therapies that make a tangible difference for patients? Do you thrive in fast-moving scientific environments where not all the answers are known yet? Join a lab dedicated to discovering, validating, and advancing novel targets using human in vitro systems and primary and disease tissue-derived cells.

In this role, you will connect deep biological insight to decision-making in drug discovery. Working in state-of-the-art labs alongside accomplished scientists, you will characterize immune pathways in health and disease, design and optimize assays, and generate data that shape program strategy. Expect high visibility, cross-functional collaboration, and the opportunity to publish impactful work while building capabilities that accelerate medicines to patients.

• Immunology Pathway Characterization:
  Define and interrogate novel immunological pathways in autoimmune diseases to drive target validation and guide therapeutic hypotheses for drug projects.
• Human In Vitro and Ex Vivo Models:
  Design, execute, and refine studies using primary and disease tissue-derived cells to generate translational data that inform program decisions.
• Assay Development and Validation:
  Build, optimize, and qualify robust cellular, molecular, and protein assays; establish standards and controls to ensure reproducibility and decision-grade data.
• Advanced Analytics and Data Integrity:
  Apply rigorous experimental design and statistical thinking to critically analyze complex datasets and communicate clear, actionable conclusions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Partner with project teams and external collaborators to align on goals, share insights, and accelerate progress; bring external science and technologies in when they create advantage.
• Scientific Leadership and Publication:
  Lead aspects of the biology, contribute to strategy discussions, and publish high-quality research in reputable journals to advance the field and our pipeline.
• Continuous Improvement in a Dynamic Environment:
  Navigate ambiguity with resilience; iterate quickly, learn from setbacks, and adopt inventive approaches that keep programs moving at pace.

• Master’s degree in biology, immunology or relevant discipline with 3+ years of relevant industry experience is required OR PhD degree in biology, immunology or relevant discipline with 0+ years of post-doctoral experience is required
• Expertise in adaptive and innate immunity, primary cell culture and assay development is essential
• Highly organized and self-motivated, with the ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team to conduct a high-level research project is essential
• Strong hands‑on skills in establishing immunological screening assays, with demonstrated proficiency in several of the following: primary cell culture, multi‑panel flow cytometry (including both intracellular and extracellular markers), ELISA, Western blot, MSD, Luminex etc
• Strong written and oral communication skills and the ability to critically analyze data sets
• Demonstrated ability to run collaborative efforts and utilize external resources to find the most effective solutions

• Previous experience in independently designing & optimizing biological screening assays in human cell lines, PBMCs, whole blood.
• Experience with multiplex cytokine read‑outs and in vitro/ex vivo culture of immune cells.
• Prior experience with screening and profiling small molecules and/or biologics in immune-based assays.
