Work Schedule: Monday - Friday, First Shift

Job Summary:

This is a highly skilled scientific role within the Global Immunology and Immunotoxicology (I&I) team, supporting the development and implementation of bone marrow-on-a-chip platforms and advanced in vitro models within the broader Early Development organization. The position contributes to translational research by designing, validating, and applying microphysiological systems to study hematopoiesis, immune responses, and disease biology.

The primary objective of this postdoctoral role is to advance the I&I New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) strategy by enabling more predictive, human-relevant models of the hematopoietic compartment. This work aims to reduce reliance on animal models, improve translational relevance, and accelerate decision-making in drug development and safety assessment.

  • Experience with building microphysiological systems for support of advance immunology understanding
  • Bone marrow-on-a-chip system design, development, and optimization
  • Application and assay development
  • Instrument and model validation activities
  • General support for cell based assays
  • Work closely with both global and local management to align research priorities and deliverables
  • Prepare scientific documentation including publications and presentations

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Ph.D. in bioengineering, biomedical engineering, biology, immunology, biochemistry or related life science
  • 4 or more years of experience in advanced cell culture systems
  • 1 or more peer-reviewed publications in the field of bioengineering, microfluidics, hematopoiesis or immunology with at least one as a first author publication in press or submission

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 3 or more years of experience with bone marrow biology, hematopoiesis, or immune organ modeling
  • 3 or more years of experience with microfluidics and/or 3-D culture systems
  • 3 or more years of experience with immunological assays (e.g. flow cytometry, ELISA)
  • 1 or more peer-reviewed publications on the subject of hematopoiesis, bone marrow physiology, or microfluid/3-D cell culture systems

Additional Job Standards:

  • Excellent organizational skills with ability to prioritize workload and problem solve with little or no direct supervision
  • Strong documentation and scientific writing experience
  • Must be able to work cross-functionally and in a fast-paced environment
  • Experience managing multiple research projects with ability to work independently
  • Experience mentoring junior technicians or scientists
  • Demonstrated ability to independently design and execute research projects

Pay Range: $80k - 90k
