Scientist I – Content Development

The role

This person will support the development, optimization, characterization, and execution of NULISA-based immunoassays and multiplex proteomic panels. They will work with cross-functional partners to ensure robust assay performance and high-quality deliverables.

What you will do

• Contribute to the design, development, and optimization of multiplex proteomic panels.
• Manage reagent logistics for panels including inventory, lot tracking, aliquoting, storage, and stability.
• Characterize assay performance for each target.
• Run sample testing studies including sample receipt, tracking, plate mapping, and reconciliation.
• Analyze and interpret assay data including processing, normalization, QC, and statistical evaluation.
• Troubleshoot technical challenges via root-cause analysis.
• Develop and maintain critical documentation including SOPs and reagent preparation records.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to advance projects and share technical insights.

Required qualifications

• Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a related discipline; M.S. with 3+ years of experience OR BA/BS with 5+ years will also be considered.
• Hands-on experience with immunoassays or multiplex assay platforms (e.g., Luminex, MSD, Olink, Ella, SomaLogic, etc.).
• Demonstrated experience running multiplex or high-throughput studies involving large numbers of reagents and samples.
• Strong organizational skills and meticulous record keeping (e.g., reagent inventories, lot tracking, ELN).
• Working knowledge of assay development and validation parameters (e.g., LLOQ, precision, linearity, spike recovery, parallelism).
• Proficiency in Excel and/or R or Python for processing and QC of multi-plate datasets.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with attention to detail in experimental execution.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and timelines in parallel, work collaboratively, and adapt in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication skills, including data presentation and technical documentation.

Nice to have

• Experience with antibody conjugation, recombinant protein handling, or lab automation (e.g., liquid handlers)
• Familiarity with molecular biology methods (e.g., qPCR, ddPCR, or NGS)
• Knowledge of biomarker research or clinical sample testing
