Research Associate – Immunology & Cell Culture #3604738

Be Part Of A High-Performing Team:

Join a research-focused life sciences environment supporting immunological studies that help advance biotherapeutic candidate selection. This team works in a hands-on laboratory setting where precision, scientific rigor, and strong documentation are essential. The role will contribute to in vitro and in vivo research activities involving immune cell handling, immunoassay execution, lab automation, and data-driven experimental conclusions.

What's In Store For You:

Engagement: W2 only (no C2C/1099)

This is an onsite opportunity in Lebanon, New Hampshire, offering hands-on exposure to immunology research, leukopak handling, cell culture workflows, immunoassay techniques, and high-throughput laboratory robotics. The engagement is long-term and ideal for an early-career scientist looking to build strong applied research experience in a structured lab environment.

• Support in vitro and in vivo immunological studies that contribute to lead candidate selection.
• Perform leukopak handling procedures, including cell isolation, cell washing, cell counting, viability assessment, and cryopreservation.
• Culture cells in vitro, including primary immune cells when required.
• Evaluate immune cell responses to biotherapeutics using immunoassay techniques.
• Execute laboratory experiments, analyze results, and support conclusions with well-documented data.
• Prepare summaries of experimental outcomes and create PowerPoint presentations to communicate findings.
• Operate high-throughput lab robotics and support automation-enabled laboratory workflows.
• Help maintain an organized laboratory environment by tracking reagents, ordering consumables, and keeping accurate records.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Immunology, Biology, or a related field.
• 0–2 years of relevant research or laboratory experience.
• Required hands-on experience with in vitro cell culture.
• Required experience with leukopak handling.
• Required experience with cell isolation, cell washing, and cell counting.
• Experience with viability assessment and cryopreservation is strongly preferred.
• Experience with immunoassay techniques such as flow cytometry, ELISpot, FluoroSpot, ELISA, or immunoprecipitation is strongly preferred.
• Experience culturing primary immune cells is strongly preferred.
• Leukopack/leukopak processing experience is strongly preferred.
• Exposure to antigen-specific expansion of T cells, culture of dendritic cells, epitope mapping, or immunopeptidomics is desirable.
• In vivo murine model experience is preferred but not required.
• Python or other programming language experience is preferred but not required.
• High-throughput lab robotics or high-throughput lab automation experience is preferred.
• Strong attention to detail, data analysis ability, PowerPoint skills, and reliable lab documentation habits.
