Scientist I

• Our team is dedicated to discovering new targets for treating autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases through computational analysis of human disease tissue-derived datasets and validating these targets using in vitro and in vivo experimental methods to positively impact patient lives. In addition to supporting MSD needs within the Department of Immunology, the candidate will assist with various assays within dermatology, including RNA isolation and PCR. The ideal candidate will have MSD experience, but experience with ELISA is acceptable.
• We are seeking an enthusiastic, skilled, and dedicated individual to join a team that validates targets. This position requires passion, attention to detail, prior hands-on experience and teamwork.

• Perform protein/cytokine measurements using MSD and ELISA platforms.
• Conduct RNA isolation and run quantitative PCR (qPCR).
• Collaborate effectively with team members across Immunology and Dermatology research areas.
• Support assay development and execution with precision and attention to detail.

• Bachelor's degree in molecular biology, Immunology, or other Biological Sciences.
• 1-4 years of relevant laboratory experience.
• Hands-on experience with MSD (preferred) or ELISA.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, cross-functional team environment.

• Builds strong relationships with peers and cross functionally with partners outside of the team to enable high performance.
• Learns fast, grasps the "essence” and can change course quickly where indicated.
• Raises the bar and is never satisfied with the status quo.
• Creates a learning environment, open to suggestions and experimentation for improvement.
• Embraces the ideas of others and nurtures innovation to make possibilities real.

• MSD (mesoscale discovery), ELISA, RNA Isolation and PCR.
