Requirements

B.S. or M.S. with 8 or more years of experience, or Ph.D. with 3 or more years of experience.
Degree in Biology, Immunology, Cell Biology, Biotechnology, or a related field.
Hands-on flow cytometry experience, including sample preparation, staining, acquisition, and analysis.
Working knowledge of PBMC isolation, primary human cell handling, and immunophenotyping techniques.
Experience with organoid models and/or human biospecimens, and awareness of related handling and quality considerations.
Strong understanding of immune cell markers and flow cytometry assay design.
Proficiency with flow cytometry analysis software such as FlowJo, FACSDiva, or equivalent.
Strong organizational, communication, and documentation skills.

Responsibilities

Design, optimize, and execute multiparameter flow cytometry assays to characterize immune and non-immune cell populations.
Support immunophenotyping of PBMCs, primary cells derived from human biospecimens, and organoid-based models.
Develop and validate antibody panels for cell lineage, activation state, phenotype, and functional readouts.
Perform sample preparation, staining, instrument setup, compensation, quality control, and acquisition on flow cytometers.
Analyze flow cytometry data using appropriate software and statistical methods, and generate figures, summaries, and reports.
Collaborate with client-team scientists and broader Immunology teams on experimental design and interpretation.
Maintain rigorous documentation of protocols, experimental conditions, and results in compliance with internal standards.
Troubleshoot issues involving sample handling, staining performance, instrument operation, and data quality.
Contribute to method development for emerging sample types, including organoids and scarce human biospecimens.
