Clinical Research Scientist
About The Position
As a Clinical Research Scientist, you will serve as a primary technical resource for assay-related troubleshooting, data review, feasibility assessments, and testing questions. You will work closely with R&D when new samples, study concepts, or potential projects are introduced, helping translate those ideas into practical protocols and effective data-collection plans. A key part of the role is determining how proposed methods can be performed consistently, scaled appropriately, and ultimately incorporated into a clinical laboratory environment. This includes reviewing results, investigating unexpected findings, optimizing workflows, developing and maintaining SOPs, supporting instrument verification and assay validation activities, and providing technical guidance to laboratory personnel. You will collaborate with R&D, laboratory operations, quality, regulatory, and other cross-functional teams to ensure that studies are scientifically sound and operationally practical. You may also contribute to regulatory documentation and assay submissions, although regulatory writing is not the primary focus of the position.
