Full Job Description
Job Description
We are seeking a skilled and collaborative scientist to support immunology-focused research through flow cytometry. The candidate will work directly on the client site in Cambridge, MA. This role will be responsible for characterizing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), primary cells isolated from human biospecimens, and organoid models. The ideal candidate will have hands-on expertise in multiparameter flow cytometry, immunophenotyping, assay development, and data analysis, with the ability to work closely with cross-functional teams in support of discovery and translational research.
Key Responsibilities
Design, optimize, and execute multiparameter flow cytometry assays to characterize immune and non-immune cell populations.
Support immunophenotyping of PBMCs, primary cells derived from human biospecimens, and organoid-based models.
Develop and validate antibody panels for cell lineage, activation state, phenotype, and functional readouts.
Perform sample preparation, staining, instrument setup, compensation, quality control, and acquisition on flow cytometers.
Analyze flow cytometry data using appropriate software and statistical methods; generate high-quality figures, summaries, and reports.
Collaborate with scientists within the client team and broader Immunology teams to support experimental design and interpretation.
Maintain rigorous documentation of protocols, experimental conditions, and results in compliance with internal standards.
Troubleshoot technical issues related to sample handling, staining performance, instrument operation, and data quality.
Contribute to method development for emerging sample types, including organoids and scarce human biospecimens.
