Senior Scientist

Job Description

We're partnering with an innovative oncology biotech seeking a Senior Scientist to help advance a pipeline of targeted cancer therapies. This is a hands-on, laboratory-based role focused on elucidating drug efficacy and mechanism of action, with a particular emphasis on receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) biology, ideally HER2 .

This position offers the opportunity to play a key role in discovery research, generating critical data that informs program strategy and supports the advancement of novel oncology therapeutics.

The Opportunity

As part of a collaborative research team, you will:

\n
• Design and execute in vitro efficacy, mechanism of action, target validation, and biomarker studies for oncology programs
\n
• Apply deep expertise in RTK signaling biology, with a preference for HER2-focused experience
\n
• Manage and maintain cancer and normal cell culture models
\n
• Generate engineered cell lines using CRISPR and inducible expression systems
\n
• Develop and optimize reporter-based assays and cellular models
\n
• Analyze and communicate scientific findings to internal stakeholders and external audiences
\n
• Contribute to conference abstracts, scientific publications, and other research communications
\n
• Establish robust experimental workflows, documentation practices, and troubleshooting procedures
\n
• Support multiple research programs within a fast-paced, collaborative environment
\n

What We're Looking For

\n
• PhD in Cancer Biology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, or a related discipline (Master's degree with significant relevant experience will also be considered)
\n
• 3+ years of industry and/or postdoctoral experience in oncology research
\n
• Demonstrated expertise in receptor tyrosine kinase biology, ideally including HER2 signaling and targeted therapies
\n
• Strong background in oncology pharmacology assays and mechanistic biology studies
\n
• Experience developing and characterizing cellular models, including CRISPR-engineered systems
\n
• Track record of scientific communication through publications, presentations, or conference abstracts
\n
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with minimal supervision
\n
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
\n
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
\n
