At Alamar, we are passionate about enabling our customers to make scientific discoveries that translate into clinical outcomes and benefit patients. Our team is growing quickly as we develop innovative approaches to measure critical protein biomarkers from liquid samples that can enable the earliest possible detection of disease. We believe the next frontier in biology is enabled by measuring proteins at higher sensitivity in highly multiplexed assays at the push of a button, which is something only Alamar can do. As we build our team, we seek collaborative, driven, intellectually curious people committed to solving complex challenges. Our culture rewards accountability and cross functional teamwork because we believe this enables the kind of breakthrough thinking that will accelerate our mission.
We seek a highly motivated Scientist II to join a dynamic team and independently design, execute and analyze experimental studies in support of client-sponsored research projects. This role requires strong technical expertise in assay development and interpretation of large proteomic datasets. A background in immunology or neuroscience with hands-on experience in immunoassays is desired. The Scientist II will work closely with the TAP Manager to complete projects within defined timelines in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and mentor junior members to ensure high quality data generation.
Primary Responsibilities:
Execute and coordinate multiplex immunoassay projects from study design, assay set-up, and sequencing to data analysis within pre-determined timelines and with minimal supervision
Analyze, interpret and troubleshoot experimental data and implement mitigation strategies to optimize workflows and ensure high caliber of data
Serve as a technical and operations lead on assigned client projects to schedule projects, manage day-to-day laboratory operations and develop standardized protocols
Mentor junior members to provide technical guidance and work closely with the TAP Manager to maintain project timelines and high level of accuracy in data generation and reporting
Compile and present multiplex proteomic data to internal and external stakeholders in written and oral formats
Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams to integrate new assays into the TAP pipeline and lead method development, validation and continuous process improvement to enable efficient scaling
Requirements:
Masters or PhD degree in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a related discipline with a minimum of 3-4 years of immunoassay experience
Strong hands-on experience with advanced immunoassay technologies and sequencing workflows
Demonstrated ability to independently execute and troubleshoot experiments
