Job Description

Senior Research Associate, Cancer Immunology
The Opportunity:

• 
  Use immunology techniques to perform cutting-edge studies,  in vitro and  ex vivo , to interrogate key scientific questions about established or candidate drug targets and therapeutic mechanisms.
  
• 
  Support immune biomarker identification to inform patient selection for monotherapy and combination therapy strategies.
  
• 
  Collaborate with biochemists, cell biologists and pharmacologists and other members of the RevMed team to generate new models and novel insights that fuel drug development.
  
• 
  Manage and analyze experimental data and present experimental results at internal meetings and scientific conferences.
  

• 
  Execute experimental strategies, using cellular and molecular immunological techniques, to investigate target biology and therapeutic mechanisms of action in  in vitro and  ex viv o immuno-oncology models.
  
• 
  Expand our immune-based assay toolbox by implementing new technologies.
  

• 
  Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree in Science with 3+ years of experience in a cell biology/cellular assay development role. Title will be adjusted according to experience.
  
• 
  Deep expertise with mammalian cell culture across a variety of cell types (primary and immortalized) and growth conditions. Demonstrated experience handling (maintaining, passaging, plating) multiple cell lines at once.
  
• 
  Hands-on experience with a wide range of cellular assay techniques (including, but not limited to, Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, MSD, qPCR) suitable for target identification and/or compound characterization.
