Overview
Job Title:
Biologist
Location:
Boston, MA
Work schedule:
Mon - Fri 9am - 5pm
Pay Range:
$50.00 - $55.80/hr
Type:
Contract, Potential for extension or conversion to permanent
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Immunology, Cell Biology, or a related field plus 5 years of relevant experience in biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, or academic research in the field of immunology.
Master’s degree in Immunology, Cell Biology, or a related field plus 2 years of relevant experience in biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, or academic research in the field of immunology.
Additional skills / Preferences
Prior experience with using live cell analysis platforms such as Incucyte and Xcelligence will be a plus
Proficient in developing in vitro assays, including work with human cell lines, PBMCs, and whole blood assays.
Proven ability to utilize immune cell and cytokine analytical techniques, including multiplex ELISA, MSD and flow cytometry
Prior work with CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing techniques.
Prior work with cell culture; Primary and mammalian cell lines
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team environment
Responsibilities As a Sr. Scientist in Immunology, you will support the development of novel allogeneic cell therapies by developing immune cell-based assays, executing in vitro experiments, and assessing immune response to different gene edited cells. You will contribute to the early-stage validation of gene edits and will work closely with cross-functional teams to advance cell therapy programs to preclinical development.
Develop and optimize cell-based assays using primary human immune cells, such as mixed lymphocyte reaction, T-cell, NK-cell cytotoxicity assays, phagocytosis assays, etc.
Isolate and culture different immune cells from either PBMCs or fresh whole blood using immunomagnetic isolation techniques.
Perform differentiation of monocytes to macrophages or dendritic cells, as needed
Assess immune checkpoint receptor expression using multi-parameter flow cytometry techniques
Use different gene editing techniques, including CRISPR to create knockouts or transgenic cell lines
Gene edit different cell types including iPSCs, primary cells, and immortalized cell lines
Use different methods, including cell sorting, single cell cloning to create gene edited clonal cell lines
Design and execute experiments and analyze resulting data to evaluate efficacy of gene edited cells in in vitro assays
Communicate experimental data effectively through written reports and oral presentations.
Demonstrate flexibility and motivation to learn and apply new technologies for biological assays.
Benefits System One offers eligible employees health and welfare benefits coverage options, including medical, dental, vision, spending accounts, life insurance, voluntary plans, and participation in a 401(k) plan.
