1. Senior Scientist
Overview
We are looking for a highly motivated, independent, and detail-oriented scientist to lead and expand our iPSC solutions. This is a high-impact position that requires starting with hands-on laboratory work – mastering systems, refining various protocols, and gradually establishing a large-scale iPSC platform encompassing multiple cell types and differentiation pathways.
Responsibilities
Maintain cell banks and perform QC on iPSC lines.
Develop and maintain SOPs for routine workflows.
Develop, implement and refine IPSC differentiation protocols in 2D/3D format for a variety of cell types and lineages.
Work with operation teams to standardize and scale differentiation protocols/SOPs for multiple lineages.
Collaborate with genome engineering groups to validate, QC, and integrate newly generated cell lines.
Implement robust SOPs with defined quality control standards, ensure operational consistency, and develop scalable systems for long-term success and GMP tech transfer, as applicable.
Propose and develop improvements to enhance cell quality, efficiency, and early risk detection.
Team leadership
Mentor and manage a small team; set clear expectations for documentation and accountability.
Foster engagement and professional growth among junior scientists.
Clearly communicate timelines, risks, and mitigation strategies to key stakeholders across R&D and Operations.
Desired qualifications
Ph.D. in Biology, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, or related discipline with 2+ years postdoctoral or industry experience (preferred).
Deep expertise in iPSC/stem cell culture and differentiation to one or more cell lineages.
Proven ability to manage organized, traceable, and high-quality cell culture operations.
Experience mentoring or managing junior scientists.
Highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive.
Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Drive to build scalable systems from research through preclinical readiness.
Preferred experience
Experience with cell functional assays, preferably in organoid format.
Multiple publications in differentiation biology using iPSC lines or ES cells.
Expertise in hepatocyte differentiation and/or pancreatic differentiation.
