Job Description
In Vivo Pharmacology – Immuno-oncology (Senior Scientist I/II)
Our expanding In Vivo Pharmacology group in South San Francisco, CA has an opening for a motivated biologist with a focus on immuno-oncology particularly T cell biology, who is dedicated to the discovery and development of innovative therapeutics, both small molecule and biologics. The Senior Scientist I/II will design/perform tumor efficacy and PK/PD studies to understand how to effectively modulate the innate and adaptive immune system for new therapies. The scientist will work collaboratively in a project team setting with biology, medicinal chemistry, biologics, and DMPK scientists to advance oncology programs through the R&D pipeline.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Designs and executes/conducts in vivo studies (e.g. syngeneic, humanized mouse models, GEMMs, adoptive transfer systems) aimed at drug discovery in the immuno-oncology space


• Uses detailed knowledge of state-of-the-art tools and approaches to enhance in vivo evaluation of novel therapeutics mechanism of action and/or identify new targets.


• Participates in oncology target identification and validation.


• Demonstrates a high level of initiative in troubleshooting experiments and performing data analysis.


• Effectively collaborates across all intra and cross functional teams.


• Presents research findings to project teams and governance bodies and prepares technical reports.


• Works with external academic, biotechnology, and contract research organizations to advance our understanding of oncology diseases.


• Understands and adheres to IACUC protocols regarding animal welfare and handling.


• Mentors and guides other scientists in the department; managerial experience preferred.

• Hands-on expertise to design and perform complex in vivo experiments utilizing tumor models in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised mice; proficient in cell/drug administration via different routes (SC, IP, PO, IV).


• Knowledgeable of secondary ex vivo cell-based assays across various technology platforms (e.g. FACS/cell sorting, imaging, ELISA/MSD, western blot/WES, IO-related culture systems, and omics-based approaches such as scRNA-seq) to assess target modulation levels and downstream effects at cellular, protein and gene level.


• Extensive knowledge of immuno-oncology and tumor biology with proven publication record.


• Demonstrated excellence and productivity in independent research.


• Strong written and verbal communication skills.


• Scientific leadership abilities and collaborative personality.


• Detail-oriented, with excellent organizational and record-keeping skills.

Preferred Requirements:

• PhD with 2+ years of experience in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry.


• Hands-on experience and knowledge of humanized models, cell line-derived xenograft models, genetically engineered mouse models, adoptive immune cell transfer models, and/or in vivo genetic delivery platforms.


• Extensive experience with T cell exhaustion, CAR-T, and in vivo targeted gene delivery.

Key Leadership Competencies:

• Ability to manage multiple responsibilities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.


• Entrepreneurial personality, with problem solving skills, critical thinking ability, and excellent communication skills.


• Highly motivated and independent with an ability to adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
