Research Associate, Cell Biology (Contract)

We are seeking a highly-motivated candidate with a strong basic research background in immunology and cell biology. This position requires expertise in primary cell and tissue culture, and knowledge of general biologic techniques such as transfections, cell based assays and immune cell flow cytometry. The successful candidate will work as a part of a multidisciplinary team, utilizing the latest technologies for cell engineering and contributing to the generation of novel cell based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer.

Job Responsibilities:

Perform research activities including isolation of PBMCs, transduction and expansion of immune cells, and various cell-based and biochemical assays (cytotoxicity, cell phenotyping, ELISA) to support the Adicet Bio Discovery Group. Analyze data and summarize for presentation to the team.

Requirements:
  • BS or MS in biological sciences or a related field
  • 4+ years of relevant academic and industry experience in immunology and/or cell biology
  • Hands on experience in primary cell culture and aseptic tissue culture techniques is required. Experience with activation and expansion of T cells is preferred.
  • Experience with handling of human biological specimens, particularly blood, isolation of PBMC using density gradient centrifugation (Ficoll).
  • Separation of B, T and NK cells by cell enrichment and depletion using magnetic beads or sorting is preferred.
  • Experience with multicolor flow cytometry is a plus.
  • Experience with cell based assay development is a plus.
  • Ability to work collaboratively, multitask and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Openness to flexible working hours is preferred
  • Highly motivated, organized and disciplined record keeping
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Company

Adicet Bio, Inc. is a privately held, pre-clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel universal immune cell therapies based on gamma delta T cells engineered with Chimeric Antigen Receptors.  Adicet is also focused on identifying and validating cancer specific targets directed to the intracellular proteome and then generating T Cell Receptor-like monoclonal antibodies (TCRLs) directed to these cancer-specific peptide targets presented by MHC Class I complexes. These TCRLs are being used to arm T cells or as T cell engagers in solid tumors. In August 2016, Adicet entered into a strategic collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to develop next-generation engineered immune-cell therapeutics using Adicet's gamma delta T cell allogeneic platform technology.
