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. The role offers hands-on experience in immunoassay workflows applied to serum, plasma, CSF, sample lysate, and tissue biomarker studies within a collaborative, fast-moving research environment.

Responsibilities

• Conduct analyses for the development and validation of novel immunoassay-based biomarker methods, as well as their application in clinical trials for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and rare brain disorders.
• Collaborate with project team leads and associates to perform experiments supporting preclinical and clinical characterization and evaluation of therapeutic molecules through biomarker assay development.
• Assist in planning and executing immunoassay method developments, 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.

Requirements

• 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.
