Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Contract Wet Lab Scientist to join our Discovery Biology team. This role is central to a high-priority binder screening campaign focused on identifying and validating novel therapeutic candidates for T-cell-based therapies. The successful candidate will play a critical role in transitioning binder discovery into functional validation, with a strong emphasis on bench-level execution in a fast-paced drug discovery environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Execute non-viral engineering of primary human T cells, including delivery of genetic material (mRNA or transposon-based DNA systems) using electroporation or nucleofection platforms
• Monitor cell viability, recovery, and expression efficiency post-transfection
• Perform and support high-throughput screening assays to evaluate binder affinity and function
• Maintain and expand primary human T cells and Jurkat cell lines using strict aseptic techniques
• Conduct multi-color flow cytometry (FACS) to assess receptor expression and phenotypic markers
• Analyze cytometry data using tools such as FlowJo
• Execute functional assays to evaluate T-cell activation, including:
• Cytotoxicity assays (e.g., IncuCyte live-cell imaging, LDH release)
• Cytokine profiling (ELISA, MSD, Luminex)
• Proliferation assays (e.g., CFSE staining)
• Maintain accurate and detailed records in an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) to ensure data integrity and compliance
• Present data-driven updates during weekly team and campaign meetings

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Immunology, Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, or related field
• Minimum 2+ years of hands-on wet lab experience, preferably in an industry setting
• Strong experience with aseptic technique and primary T cell isolation from PBMCs
• Demonstrated expertise in flow cytometry acquisition and analysis (required)

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with non-viral transfection methods (e.g., electroporation, nucleofection)
• Familiarity with liquid-handling robotics for high-throughput workflows
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and presentation abilities

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Thrives in a bench-focused, fast-paced research environment
• Highly detail-oriented with strong documentation practices
• Collaborative team player with the ability to communicate complex data clearly
