Scientist

Zenith LifeScience

This position will support rare disease–focused cell therapy programs, distinct from traditional oncology CAR-T development. The scientific focus is on non-malignant, genetically defined, or ultra-rare indications, where therapeutic goals, experimental design, and success criteria differ from oncology applications.

Below, you will find a complete breakdown of everything required of potential candidates, as well as how to apply Good luck.

Key characteristics of this rare disease focus include:

  • Emphasis on precision, durability, and controlled activity rather than tumor eradication
  • Engineering CAR-T cells for long-term function, safety, and tight regulation
  • Development of logic-gated or multi-input CAR systems to minimize off-target risk and enhance specificity
  • Working with limited patient biology or scarce disease models, requiring thoughtful experimental design and data interpretation
  • Supporting programs that may progress with smaller datasets but high mechanistic rigor
  • Experience or background exclusively in oncology is welcomed, but candidates must demonstrate the ability to adapt CAR-T strategies to rare disease biological constraints and therapeutic objectives.

For the Scientist position, the role supports rare disease programs by executing experimental plans aligned to rare disease biology , safety requirements, and regulatory expectations.

The Scientist operates with partial independence , executing experiments and delivering data within defined project frameworks . This role focuses on high-quality execution, adherence to established protocols, and clear communication of results, with scientific direction provided by senior team members.

Key Responsibilities

  • Execute pre-designed experimental plans for CAR-T cell engineering and validation
  • Perform high-throughput lentiviral production and QC following established workflows, escalating issues as needed
  • Conduct CAR validation and T-cell functional assays with guidance on experimental objectives
  • Maintain accurate, traceable, and timely experimental documentation in electronic lab notebooks
  • Communicate results clearly and proactively, including deviations, challenges, or unexpected findings
  • Contribute to team troubleshooting xhyhwjd discussions
  • Work independently on assigned tasks while seeking input on experimental design changes
  • Adhere strictly to Company data integrity, safety, and compliance standards

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor degree with relevant experience in Immunology, Cell Biology, Bioengineering, or related field
  • Hands-on experience with CAR-T cell therapy or engineered T cell platforms
  • Demonstrated expertise in lentiviral vector production and associated QC assays
  • Strong practical experience with primary T cell culture and manipulation
  • Working knowledge of flow cytometry and functional T cell assays
  • Ability to work independently while following established protocols
