The ideal candidate will be a motivated, detail-oriented, highly collaborative, organized, and flexible scientist with a strong background in cancer immunology, particularly in mechanisms of immunogenic cell death, tumor immunogenicity or immunosuppression.
How You Will Achieve It
- Apply cellular and molecular biology laboratory techniques to preclinical research projects in the area of cancer immunology
- Execute molecular and cellular assays including flow cytometry, cytotoxicity assays, reporter assays, ELISA, Luminex, western blotting, WES and in vitro PD assays
- Investigate novel antibody drug conjugate (ADC) linker payloads and new MOAs of our therapeutics through development, optimization, and execution of complex assays
- Independently design, execute and document key experiments to enable clear go/no-go decisions; present findings to large and small audiences
- Provide leadership within technical area of expertise; may train others
- Maintain rigorous records of experimental progress using electronic laboratory notebooks
Qualifications
Must-Have
- Ph.D with 0-3 years of experience in cancer immunology, cancer biology, biomedical sciences, or a related field
