As a Senior Cell Biology R&D Scientist, you will play a key role in advancing preclinical research by shaping experimental approaches that generate meaningful biological insight. This role is suited to a scientist who brings deep cell biology expertise, sound scientific judgment, and the ability to collaborate effectively across research and development functions while helping guide project direction and scientific strategy.
Responsibilities- Lead cell biology assay development and optimization for preclinical research programs.
- Design and execute in vitro experiments to evaluate cellular mechanisms and responses.
- Analyze experimental data and present findings to cross-functional R&D teams.
- Maintain accurate laboratory documentation and ensure compliance with quality standards.
- Mentor junior scientists and contribute to scientific strategy and project planning.
Requirements- PhD in cell biology or a closely related life sciences field.
- 10+ years of professional experience in cell biology research and development.
- Proven experience building cell-based assays from scratch, optimizing assay conditions for reproducibility, and running preclinical in vitro studies focused on cellular response or mechanism of action.
- Hands-on expertise with mammalian cell culture, flow cytometry, microscopy, ELISA, qPCR, and high-content screening.
- Proficiency with GraphPad Prism, FlowJo, and ImageJ, along with experience performing statistical analysis in R or Python.
- Domain experience in oncology, immunology, inflammation, stem cell biology, or broader preclinical drug discovery within pharma or biotech.
- Strong working knowledge of GLP, assay validation standards, laboratory documentation practices, and quality-controlled preclinical environments.
- Experience presenting findings to R&D leadership, collaborating with project teams, and partnering with manufacturing, testing, or regulatory colleagues.
- Track record of mentoring junior scientists, leading project planning, and contributing to scientific strategy.
Benefits- Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
- Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
- Training & Development
