We are seeking candidates with experience in immunology, molecular biology, flow cytometry, cell culture work and preclinical tumor models. Self-motivated and creative individuals with a track record in the field of immunology/tumor immunology and/or oncology, with relevant publications and an interest in translational opportunities should apply. Successful candidates should have excellent written and oral communication skills.

Job Duties:
  • Independently design, plan, and perform complex anti-tumor efficacy studies in mice including dosing (IV, SC, IP) and tumor growth monitoring.
  • Dissection of tumors / organs for immune cell isolation and subsequent analysis.
  • Design flow cytometry (FACS) complex panels and perform FACS analysis on immune cells isolated from tumors and tissues.
  • Analyze data using biological and statistical software such as Flowjo, Prism, Excel, etc.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across the company.
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Synthesize results across experiments and programs in PowerPoint presentations and present to multi-disciplinary colleagues and senior management, including clinical teams.
