We have an open position for an experienced Immunological Assay Development Scientist on our R&D Team. This person will develop immunological assays that contribute to our therapeutic antibody discovery projects in the research pipeline. You will support across multiple line functions to progress drug discovery projects. 

Job Responsibilities

• Independently or in collaboration with co-leads design, execute and troubleshoot immunological assays and cell-based assays to support therapeutic antibody development projects in R&D team and/or in collaboration with other teams. 
• Design, execute, interpret, and improve in vitro experiments in the cellular immunology field using mouse, rabbit or human primary cells and cell lines. Assays may include but are not limited to cellular signaling, affinity and competition assays, cellular proliferation, cytokine measurements, receptor binding, cellular toxicity tests (ADCC, ADCP, CDC), macrophage assays etc.
• Identify novel technologies and cutting-edge improvements for immunoassays that will contribute to the progress of therapeutic targets.
