HireMinds is seeking a motivated Senior Associate Scientist or Scientist to join our client’s discovery to preclinical efforts in the lab. In this role you’ll provide MOA study support, preclinical, and translational immunology experiment expertise in the lab. You’ll work on a novel platform in cancer and autoimmune diseases. To be successful you will contribute to understanding disease-relevant T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires and work on generating and interrogating TCR-transduced human cell lines and primary human T cells. If this sounds exciting for your next career step apply or reach out to the HireMinds Biotech team today.

 

You’ll Be Responsible For:

  • Planning and executing in vitro/ex vivo studies using primary human immune cells from healthy donors and patients independently and efficiently.

  • Hands-on experience executing and documenting in vitro studies with primary human immune cells is essential.
  • Expertise in multicolor flow cytometry-based immunophenotyping, FACS, and cellular immunology assays (e.g., cytokine analysis, cytotoxicity, proliferation).
  • Experience analyzing antigen-specific T cells.
  • Proficiency in molecular biology, lentiviral/retroviral vector design, synthetic biology, and assay development is preferred.
  • Hands-on experience generating stably transduced T cell lines and primary T cells.
  • Experience with B cells studies in autoimmune diseases.
  • Self-motivation with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
