Job Description
You will join a team of cell biologists and biochemists dedicated to supporting early stage drug discovery projects in the areas of neurology and inflammation. In this role, you will contribute to research aimed at understanding and optimizing drug–target interactions. This is a lab-based position with responsibilities that include:
* Design, develop, and execute a wide range of cellular and biochemical assays.
* Independently conduct primary and secondary screenings using automated robotic platforms.
* Analyze data, prepare accurate written reports, and present findings in regular project meetings.
* Coordinate and oversee laboratory activities of research associates.
Profile
Education:
* PhD in Biochemistry, In Vitro Pharmacology, Cell Biology, or a related discipline. Prior experience in similar position in the life sciences industry is highly desirable.
Technical Expertise:
* Hands-on experience with fluorescence and luminescence-based assays (HTRF, FRET, BRET, gene reporter assays)
* Strong bench skills in mammalian cell culture.
* Solid theoretical and practical understanding of in vitro pharmacology, including enzymes, receptors, transporters, and ion channels biology
* Familiarity with laboratory automation and robotic platforms (e.g., PerkinElmer Janus, Beckman Biomek) is a plus.
Personal Attributes:
* Independent, collaborative, and enthusiastic scientist with a passion for bench work.
* Highly rigorous, reliable, and organized, with the ability to multitask effectively in a fast-paced environment.
* Previous experience in managing laboratory team members is desirable.
