Senior Scientist - Immunology Biology

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will lead elements of drug discovery programs by providing scientific insight, generating robust experimental data packages, and developing mechanistic models of disease to advance Arcus drug candidates.

Senior scientists have opportunities to mentor junior scientists through hands-on training, technical guidance, and feedback in experimental design, troubleshooting, and data interpretation.

This role will contribute both intellectually and experimentally within a multidisciplinary team to regularly synthesize, interpret, and present results in internal forums and, as appropriate, external scientific venues.

Qualifications

• PhD in immunology or a related scientific discipline with 3 + years of relevant industry experience
• Deep understanding of inflammatory and autoimmune disease mechanisms demonstrated through scientific presentations and publications
• Strong ability to identify, design, and fully analyze critical experiments, develop experimental next steps, and integrate new information to revise previous hypotheses
• Extensive expertise in the isolation, culture, and functional evaluation of primary immune cells (mouse and human)
• Proficiency with immunoassay techniques including multi-color flow cytometry, ELISA (or equivalent method) and western blot
• Demonstrated expertise in the design and execution of murine models of inflammation including study design, tissue collection/processing, and ex vivo immunophenotyping to support the mechanism of action for drug candidates
• Strong collaboration and leadership skills—including cross-functional teamwork, clear presentations, and mentoring of junior scientists
• Well-developed scientific communication skills with demonstrated experience preparing external scientific materials including conference abstracts, scientific posters, and manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication
