Required Skills :

Deep understanding of cancer immunology, oncogenic signaling pathways (RAS, PI3K), and translational drug development, as evidenced by first-author publications, patents, and past success in R&D.

Experience in NSCLC, SCLC, or CRC disease biology would be advantageous.

• Expertise in independently leading lab-based research projects involving a wide repertoire of experimental techniques such as conventional / spectral flow cytometry, biochemistry, cell / molecular biology, and immune function assays.
• Independent and proactive, with efficient time management and the ability to simultaneously progress multiple projects or experiments in parallel.
• A thoughtful and meticulous approach to experimental design, execution, and documentation, bringing scientific rigor and creativity to problem solving.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented and adaptable, with excellent written / oral communication skills.
• A passion for scientific research and drug development.

Preferred Skills :

• Familiarity with in vivo pharmacology, single cell workflows, and spatial omics would be helpful.
• Experience developing and validating clinical biomarker assays and strategies would also be advantageous.
• Only those lawfully authorized to work in the designated country associated with the position will be considered.
