We're looking for a Staff Scientist (Scientist 3) to join our team and help us build our next portfolio of products. You will be a key part of the product development process providing expertise to R&D and manufacturing. You will also generate publication-quality results for competitive marketing purposes and general publication/release. To be successful in this role, you'll need extensive knowledge of Flow Cytometry (antibody panel design and data analysis using relevant software) using a variety of instruments, biochemistry, and molecular biology. You should be comfortable writing technical reports and analyses of your findings, with the goal of reporting results clearly to other scientists and transferring research into manufacturing and production environments. We are a small but growing team and the applicant must be comfortable in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Self-motivated and driven applicants are encouraged to apply.
Responsibilities- Validate and test new product designs on a range of Flow Cytometry platforms
