About The Position

The ideal candidate for the Scientist Senior Associate role will have hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture and a working knowledge of flow cytometry, gained through industry or academic lab environments. This role is highly execution-focused and routine in nature, requiring comfort with lab-based work, structured documentation, and repeatable experimental processes. Candidates should hold a BS or MS degree (PhD candidates are not a fit) and demonstrate strong attention to detail, reliability, and willingness to learn additional immunology-related techniques such as ELISA/Luminex, immune cell isolation, or liquid handling. Prior industry experience is preferred but not required if technical fundamentals are solid. This is a fully on-site, lab-based position, with flexibility in hours after training and no weekend work expected.
