Job Duration: 06+ months contract with long-term potential
Job Summary We are currently seeking a highly motivated and passionate scientist to join our team in Immunology Discovery based in Cambridge, MA. In this role, the candidate will collaborate with multiple cross‑functional teams to advance portfolio projects, with a particular emphasis on supporting in‑vitro data generation.
Responsibilities include performing and adapting
cell‑based in‑vitro protocols
in a timely manner across diverse cell systems, data analysis and effective communication of results, and collaboration across multiple teams.
The position offers a unique opportunity for a talented scientist to work in a dynamic, innovative, and multi‑disciplinary environment to develop their career at the interface of basic research and early drug discovery.
The position requires ability to work independently, demonstrate excellent technical, written and oral communication skills and work very well in a collaborative team environment.
Key Responsibilities
Human colon organoid culture, passaging, and plating
for experiments to support the group
Perform cell‑based assays using
cell lines and mammalian primary cells
Test biologic and small molecules
in cell‑based assays for functional readouts including
cell proliferation, cytokine release, and gene expression
Perform advanced molecular and cellular biology techniques (including but not limited to FACS, ELISA, MSD, HTRF, qPCR)
Responsibilities may include
processing animal tissue ex‑vivo
and
isolation of immune cells
from human and animal tissue or blood
Work independently on the design, execution and interpretation of experimental results to validate hypotheses related to the project need
Maintain close communication with multiple groups to support
human colon organoid cell needs
Implement and innovate new experimental protocols/techniques as needed
Analyze, interpret, document and report data consistently, concisely and rigorously, both to individual stakeholders and in group settings
Demonstrate scientific excellence through dedication to multiple projects in a fast‑paced multi‑disciplinary environment
Impact projects mostly through lab‑based activities
Qualifications and Requirements
The applicant must have a bachelor’s degree in Biological Science or related field with
2+ years of experience in biotech or pharma setting (industry experience)
Experience in
in‑vitro cell culture
(sterile techniques, handling challenging cell types) is required. Experience with cell‑based assay development is a plus.
Experience with primary
epithelial cells
and human
colon organoids
is required.
Experience with immune cells including myeloid cells ( monocytes, macrophages or dendritic cells ) is required.
Experience in immunoassays including
multi‑color flow cytometry and ELISA (or MSD, HTRF)
is required.
Experience with gene expression analysis by
qPCR
is required.
Experience with ex‑vivo animal tissue processing is a plus.
Ability to learn new skills and apply them in a fast‑paced research environment.
Creativity, problem‑solving, and attention to details.
Excellent oral and written communication and collaboration skills.
Ability to work independently as well as in a team.
Proven flexibility to deal with changing timelines and shifting work priorities.
Key Skills
Experience with
human organoid culture
Experience with
in‑vitro assays
with primary human immune cells (e.g.,
myeloid, PBMCs )
Experience with molecular and cellular analysis techniques including qPCR, MSD, ELISA,
flow cytometry
Bachelor’s degree in Biology or related field
At least 2+ years experience in industry or biotech setting
