Scientist II, Precision Medicine TA

The Precision Medicine Immunology Department is seeking a highly motivated Scientist with a background in immunology or immuno-oncology and experience in single-cell or spatial genomics, molecular biology, and cell biology to join the Translational Research team. This individual will support clinical biomarker discovery by profiling clinical and preclinical samples using single-cell and spatial omics approaches to better understand drug mechanisms of action and pharmacodynamics, while helping drive data-informed patient selection strategies. The role will contribute to drug development programs across inflammatory and autoimmune disease areas, including Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Rheumatology, and Fibrosis, spanning late-stage discovery through clinical trials. The successful candidate will join a growing translational research group and collaborate with cross-functional teams both internally and externally.

• Proactively identify technical artifacts, interpret quality control results, optimize assay performance, and ensure high quality and reproducible data delivery on timely deadlines.
• Stay at the forefront of the single-cell and spatial genomics field by surveying, evaluating, testing and validating novel scientific methodologies.
• Present work plans and acquired data clearly and precisely to cross-functional stakeholders through formal written reports and verbal updates.
• B.S. & typically 7+ years, M.S. & typically 5+ years of relevant industrial biotechnology experience in Immunology, cell & molecular biology, pharmacology, pathology, or other relevant biological sciences.
• Broad technical expertise in molecular and cell biology assays, with specialization in scRNA-seq, CITE-seq, and snRNA-seq across blood and tissue samples.
• Expertise in executing spatial omics experiments using CosMx, Xenium, and Visium platforms, integrated with deep expertise in molecular pathology techniques such as IHC and ISH.
• Strong organizational skills, with a demonstrated ability to prioritize tasks and allocate resources to meet aggressive timelines.
• A robust track record of scientific writing, ensuring high-quality documentation and verbal reporting of technical findings.
