Job Description

Target PR Range: 31-41/hr
*Depending on experience

What are the top 3-5 skills, experience or education required for this position:
1. cell culture 2D a must, 3D would be a plus
2. in vitro assay experience
3. familiarity with luminescence/fluorescence/UV-Vis assay readout
4. familiarity with spheroids/organoids

Purpose:
The primary functions of this position are conducting laboratory experiments and analysis in support of molecular toxicology studies.
Key responsibilities:
• The candidate must be able to multi-task and collaborate successfully across other groups within R&D to identify optimal screening assays for early detection of toxicity liabilities
• Support Preclinical Safety Toxicologists and Pathologists with key in vitro platforms for investigating molecular mechanisms of toxicity and enabling optimal selection of drug candidates.
• Develop/characterize 2D/3D in vitro platforms, focused on toxicology.
• Conduct routine in vitro screening assays for early drug candidates.
• Produce/coordinate/present key data as needed.
• Analyze and interpret relevant molecular toxicology data in a timely manner and communicate data and interpretation to project stakeholders

Qualifications:
• BS or MS in cell/molecular biology, Molecular toxicology/Pharmacology, biochemistry, or a related field with 1-5+ yrs experience
• Experience in basic cell culture and cell biology endpoints. Knowledge of spheroid/organoid culture is a plus.
• Functional understanding of fluorescence and luminescence assays and related plate readers
• Practical knowledge of in vitro assay development and troubleshooting, ability to work in a rapid pace environment
• Good analytical skills and knowledge in data analysis, interpretation, report writing, and communication (both written and oral)
• Knowledge of traditional scientific, statistical, and graphing software
