Job Details

The Research Investigator will join the Immuno Oncology Resistance Biology research team at Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) in Cambridge, MA. This team is composed of cancer biologists, cancer geneticists, immunologists and immuno oncologists who work to develop therapies to address mechanisms of resistance to BMS immune oncology agents.

The qualified candidate is a highly motivated, interactive, and creative individual who possesses substantial experience in studying tumor biology and genetics, especially with respect to how these features impact immune responses to the tumor. The candidate will be expected to contribute to the team's project portfolio by developing new project hypotheses (gleaned from literature reports, evaluation of public and proprietary tumor profiling datasets, preclinical mechanistic models and screens, etc.), validate the hypothesis in preclinical models, and develop assays to support early preclinical drug development. The opportunity to gain experience in preclinical drug development is available as successful hypotheses progress into later stages of preclinical development. The highly matrixed organization also provides the opportunity for the successful candidate to broaden their scientific expertise into immunology and immune oncology.

The successful candidate will demonstrate clear and professional verbal and written communication, capable of presenting scientific results to multidisciplinary teams, senior management and at external scientific meetings.
