Associate Scientist - Technology-Enabled Experimental Inflammation Discovery

Amgen seeks an Associate Scientist to support inflammation target discovery through experimental design, data analysis, and mechanistic research. The role combines cellular and molecular experiments with AI-enabled computational tools, requiring proficiency in complex disease models, multiparameter analysis, and rigorous data generation in an immunology-focused setting.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute cellular and molecular experiments for target discovery and mechanistic insight
• Analyze and integrate experimental data using computational and AI-enabled tools
• Translate experimental findings into biological insights and clear actionable decisions
• Manage samples, cells, timelines, and parallel workflows with strong organizational skills
• Communicate complex data clearly and troubleshoot experimental challenges systematically

Requirements

• Master's degree with 1+ year cell/molecular biology research experience, or Bachelor's with 3+ years
• Hands-on mammalian cell biology and molecular/cellular assay development experience
• Experience with complex cellular systems such as organoids or co-cultures
• Proficiency in multiparameter flow cytometry, quantitative imaging, or high-content analysis
• Strong experimental rigor with attention to controls, documentation, and data integrity
• Demonstrated interest in AI-enabled tools, coding, computational approaches, or advanced data analysis
• Experience with skin-derived tissues/cells and primary immune cell culture preferred
