Scientist

• Support the rigorous evaluation of positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers using in vitro radiopharmacology techniques.

Responsibilities :

• Conduct reproducible experiments that evaluate the interaction of radioactive small molecule ligands with their target proteins, including sample preparation, assay setup, and data analysis.
• Understand the goal of each experiment and effectively communicate with stakeholders across project stages.
• Interpret results and draw conclusions from multistage experiments, note significant deviations, then suggest, design, and pursue relevant experiments.
• Access and understand relevant scientific literature and apply theoretical framework to solving problems within scientific discipline in a timely manner.
• Understand and adhere to corporate standards regarding code of conduct, safety, and appropriate handling of radioactive and biohazardous materials.

Qualifications :

• Bachelor’s Degree (neuroscience, pharmacology, cell/molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related field) or Master’s Degree or equivalent education with years of experience.
• [Preferred]  Theoretical knowledge of ligand-receptor binding interactions and their application to drug discovery.
• [Strongly preferred] Practical experience with plate-based filter binding assays or similar plate-based biochemical assays in 96-well plates.
• [Required]  Willingness and ability to work with radioactive materials including ³H, 18F, and/or 89Zr. Basic familiarity with Microsoft Excel, and nonlinear curve fitting using Graphpad Prism or similar.
