Doing it all, together, that is what keeps us going.
The Role
We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Research Associate with a strong background in Immunology or Cell Biology and hands-on experience with cell-based functional assays. You will play a crucial role in identifying the next generation therapeutic multispecific antibodies by setting up cell-based assays, performing functional screenings, and analyzing and reporting the results in a multidisciplinary team setting. Your key responsibilities are:
- Independently lead the design, planning and timely execution of functional assays using cell lines or primary cells.
- Develop and optimize functional assays.
- Promptly document and analyze experimental results, draw valid conclusions, design follow-up experiments and present insights to the project team.
- Collaborate with the research team to plan and troubleshoot experiments.
- Provide guidance/be a mentor for (junior) Research Associates.
Your Profile
We are looking for a candidate with proven experience with cell-based assays. You thrive to develop and run complex experiments. Moreover, you have a flexible attitude that blends in with the entrepreneurial nature of Gyes as a start-up biotech. You meet the following requirements:
- HBO (BSc) or MSc degree in Immunology, Life Sciences, Cell Biology or related discipline.
- Minimum of 5 years laboratory experience in immunology or cell biology techniques, with a focus on functional assays. Preferably you have experience in industry.
- Strong hands-on experience with cell culture, flow cytometry, and other cell-based techniques, as well as ELISA.
