  • PhD (0+/2) or MS degree with 6+ years of industry experience in a relevant biological or scientific discipline
  • Extensive experience in mammalian cell culture
  • Hands-on experience performing and developing plate and cell-based assays
  • Strong troubleshooting, organization, and planning skills
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills
  • Background in small molecule drug discovery and development, or relevant academic experience
  • Experience in microscopy, lab automation, and/or programming for data analysis is a plus
  • Experience externalizing assays and managing CROs is a plus
