Research Associate, In Vitro

role at

Pixium Vision S.A. Science is a clinical stage, vertically integrated technology company focused on solving some of neuroscience's hardest questions and most serious unmet medical needs. We work to restore quality of life to those with debilitating conditions for which there are no treatment options, creating devices aimed at restoring vision, cognition, and mobility to patients who have lost it. To support progress across our industry, we provide state-of-the-art components and vertically integrated infrastructure for others to build on via Science Foundry. Join our team of scientists and engineers as we develop next-generation cell and gene therapies for brain-computer interfaces and optogenetic vision restoration. You'll contribute directly to pioneering research with the potential to restore sight to the blind and create revolutionary neural interfaces. This is a perfect opportunity for a scientist to apply their expertise in neuronal differentiation in a fast-paced research environment focused on therapeutic applications.

Responsibilities Execute highly reproducible iPSC differentiation protocols to generate defined neuronal subtypes, with particular expertise in cortical neurons, inhibitory interneurons, and dopaminergic neurons

Develop, optimize, and rigorously adhere to detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all neuronal differentiation workflows

Perform single-cell RNA sequencing (sc-RNAseq) sample preparation, library construction, and quality control analysis

Execute advanced FACS sorting and analysis for neuronal population characterization and purification

Conduct comprehensive immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunocytochemistry protocols for neuronal marker validation

Implement rigorous quality control assays throughout differentiation timelines, including cell viability, purity, and functional assessments

Maintain detailed documentation and data integrity across all experimental procedures

Perform molecular biology assays including qPCR, digital PCR, and protein quantification methods

Key Qualifications A highly skilled laboratory scientist with 2+ years of specialized experience in iPSC-derived neuronal differentiation

Demonstrated expertise with stem cell differentiation protocols
