We bring a human touch to every treatment we pioneer. Join us and make a difference.

The Tumor Microenvironment Thematic Research Center (TME TRC) focuses on developing therapeutic targets at the intersection of tumor, stromal and immune biology within the TME with the goal of enhancing responsiveness to checkpoint blockade and targeted therapies.  Comprising of scientists across multiple disciplines we are responsible for the biology and translational science necessary to support drug development from target identification through to first in human studies.

Position Summary:

We seek a creative Associate Scientist in the field of Immune-Oncology/Oncology to join our In Vivo Pharmacology team within the Tumor Microenvironment Thematic Research Center at Bristol Myers Squibb in Redwood City, California. The successful candidate will play an essential role in the development of advanced models of cancer and the discovery of novel therapeutics for the treatment of cancer leveraging both cancer cell and immune intrinsic biology.

This individual contributor role will collaborate across groups to plan, execute and analyze preclinical mouse studies. A wide range of animal models including syngeneic, GEM, CDX, PDX and humanized tumor models are used. The qualified candidate is a highly motivated, interactive, and team-oriented individual that possesses the ability to work in a multi-functional team environment. You will gain and provide technical and scientific in vivo pharmacology expertise to advance a variety of drug discovery programs from target identification/validation, to IND enabling activities and ultimately to clinical Proof of Concept in patients.
