Job Description
Sr. Associate Scientist - Analytical Automation & Cell Therapy (Onsite-Seattle, WA)
We are seeking a Sr. Associate Scientist - Analytical Automation & Cell Therapy for a global pharmaceutical client. You will contribute to the development and implementation of novel immunoassays that enable rapid, unsupervised and robust characterization of cell therapy process intermediates during the manufacturing process. You will work closely with lab automation engineers, analytical development and process development scientists to test and implement novel reagents to streamline sample preparation, data acquisition and data analysis workflow. The candidate will also work with the team to transition from manual to automated workflows as development progresses, characterizing method performance and robustness between the two modes. You will support the qualification of the developed automated assay, ensuring method readiness for manufacturing implementation.
This is a 40-hour per-week, 12-month contract (extensions possible), 100% onsite role in Seattle, WA.
This is a W2 role as a Stage 4 Solutions employee. Health benefits and a 401K are offered.
Responsibilities:
Analytical Method Development:
a. Test commercially available reagents for assessment in novel flow cytometry methods.
b. Plan method testing to support thorough screening of sample preparation parameters and their impact on data acquisition/analysis quality
c. Support custom reagent testing and streamlining of analytical method to enable operator-free execution
d. Execute analytical method qualification studies to demonstrate readiness for manufacturing implementation
Data Analysis and Reporting
a. Analyze experiment data to identify trends, support decision making and determine next steps
b. Prepare and present data on development progress, analytical method performance across sample types, comparability to existing methods where applicable
c. Author technical documents such as method operating procedures, comparability and qualification protocols and reports.
Collaboration and Communication:
a. Communicate effectively with internal stakeholders to ensure alignment and transparency.
b. Work with internal collaborators to support method transfer to other sites
Requirements:
4+ years of experience in cell-based assay development, specifically cell counting and flow-based assays
Previous experience with flow cytometry assay development for cell characterization, including panel design and sample preparation protocol development
Experience with method development and qualification
Knowledge of flow cytometry reagents and approaches to support automation and streamlining of methods
Previous experience with in vitro culture of primary cells
Bachelor's degree in molecular or cellular biology, biomedical engineering, or related discipline
