Immunoassay Biomarker Scientist

Eurofins Professional Scientific Services (PSS) offers a focus on professional growth within the biopharmaceutical industry. We provide supportive teams and tools to invest in employees while maintaining work-life balance and a competitive benefits package. Eurofins Scientific is an international life sciences company specializing in analytical testing services for food, environmental, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics products, as well as agroscience CRO services and genomics.

About the role

This position supports a Neuroscience Biomarkers client team focused on immunoassay-based methods to identify and quantify biomarkers associated with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. We seek a motivated scientist to gain hands-on experience in immunoassay workflows applied to serum, plasma, CSF, sample lysate, and tissue biomarker studies within a collaborative research environment.

Responsibilities

• Perform analyses for the development and validation of novel immunoassay-based biomarker methods, as well as their application in clinical trials for neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and rare brain disorders).
• Collaborate with project team leads and associates to conduct experiments supporting preclinical and clinical characterization and evaluation of therapeutic molecules through biomarker assay development.
• Assist in planning and executing immunoassay method development, optimization, validation, and sample analyses from preclinical and clinical cohorts.
• Work on-site in the laboratory, summarizing and reporting method status and results for internal partners.
• Implement assay validation procedures to deliver high-performance biomarker assays for preclinical and clinical sample analyses.

Qualifications

Basic Minimum Qualifications:

• B.S. in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related life sciences field with at least 3 years of relevant industry experience utilizing ELISA and MSD.
• Strong understanding of immunoassay principles (e.g., antibodies and ligand-based molecules, assay design), protein biomarker quantification, and assay validation.
• Hands-on experience in protein biomarker applications (e.g., clinical diagnostics, clinical trials, or preclinical sample analysis).
• Experience working with human or animal specimens (tissue and biofluids such as plasma, serum, and CSF) under BSL-2 or equivalent safety conditions.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with clinical sample analysis using immunoassay methods.
• Proficiency in additional qualitative (e.g., electrophoresis techniques, Western blot) and quantitative (e.g., Ella, Simoa, NULISA, SpearBio) immunoassay-based analyses.
• Experience with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), and/or Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) validation standards.
• Authorization to work in the United States indefinitely without restriction or sponsorship.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Life and disability insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid vacation and holidays.
• Eligibility for yearly goal-based bonus and merit-based increases.

Pay

$36.00–$41.00 per hour based on education and related experience.
