Join our bioassay group in developing and executing a variety of in vitro bioassays, including biochemical and cellular assays. Conceive and execute novel scientific research or development that achieves projects and area goals. Generate new scientific proposals and lead those efforts. Investigate, identify, develop, and optimize new methods and techniques. Act as a lead scientist in his/her area of expertise and critically evaluate relevant scientific and regulatory advances and integrate this knowledge into research or development programs.     

Responsibilities:

• Develop in vitro assays, screening strategies, mechanistic studies, deliver high quality data from validated screens to drive lead series identification and lead optimization. The successful candidate will develop disease-relevant phenotypic assays using complex cellular models such as primary and stem cells and elucidate mechanism of action of molecules.
• Proficiency with multiple assay formats in higher throughput format
• Engage and collaborate with multiple disease area teams and make substantial contributions to the conception and execution of screens including mechanism of action studies within strict time and quality tolerances.
• Collaborate actively within the group and cross functional team to execute projects and coordinate discovery efforts.
• Maintain cutting-edge awareness of technical developments and scientific knowledge and proactively, applying these when appropriate.
• Effectively communicate results in presentations and written reports and actively participate in cross-functional teams.
