Scientist - Bioengineering

ArsenalBio’s mission is to develop efficacious and safe cellular therapies for patients with chronic diseases, initially cancer. Our products are being designed to herald the transition of adoptive cell therapy from a hospital based treatment to outpatient therapy, like most other cancer treatments. Our people are our greatest asset, they bring scientific talents in molecular biology, immunology, pharmacology, protein chemistry, computational biology, automation, genome engineering, software and other fields to make the future happen now.

We are seeking an outstanding Assay Development Scientist to join the Technology Development team. The successful candidate is expected to work effectively in cross-functional teams to drive the implementation of advanced immunological assays that are robust and scalable.

What You Will Do

Work with the Discovery and Technology Development teams to define, build, and scale-up advanced immunological assays such as cell killing, cytokine release, cell migration, cell persistence, and transcriptional profiling

Drive the design and implementation of scalable platforms for both 2D and 3D tumor modeling for use within the context of immuno-oncology

Support adoption of lab automation by the Discovery and Development teams

Perform other related duties as assigned and based on company needs

What You Will Bring

REQUIRED

Ph.D. in immunology, cell biology, molecular biology, bioengineering, or a related discipline with 3+ years developing novel assays and assay platforms

Proven ability to perform high-quality experiments using automation

Experience with culturing of mammalian cells in 3D contexts

Experience with at least one of: ELISA or other protein quantitation methods; multidimensional flow cytometry; advanced imaging; or genetically encoded readouts

Working knowledge of experimental design (DOE methodology), bench execution, process optimization, and statistical analysis of biological assays

Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work independently and in a multi-team environment, along with a can-do attitude to solve challenging problems in a fast-paced work environment

PREFERRED

Experience in drug screening, oncology, immunology, developmental biology, or similar applied fields

Strong understanding of complexities of the tumor microenvironment

Strong working knowledge of cellular screening technologies, assay development, molecular biology, high content imaging applications (especially confocal imaging), genomics, and NGS

Experience with single-cell technologies

Experience with large-scale data analytics: R or python, AWS, image processing

Plus

Experience in technology transfer, including process documentation, user training, performing IQ/OQ/PQ

Experience working with laboratory information management system and electronic lab notebook
