The posting

We are seeking a motivated and hands-on Scientist- Cancer immunology/immunotherapy with experience in mammalian cell culture and a strong interest in cellular immunology to join our growing research organization. The successful candidate will contribute to the design, development, and execution of complex immune assays to identify and validate novel targets that support our immuno-oncology research programs. You will work with primary human samples, apply key immunological techniques such as flow cytometry and ELISpot, and generate high-quality scientific data that will advance our understanding of immune responses and inform the development of innovative therapies.

As a Scientist, you will be an integral member of a multidisciplinary team based in Boston, collaborating closely with colleagues across discovery and translational research. You will bring strong laboratory skills, scientific curiosity, and a collaborative mindset to support assay development, data generation, and scientific decision-making. This role offers the opportunity to contribute directly to novel immunotherapeutic approaches while continuing to develop your expertise in a dynamic and cutting-edge research environment.

Accountabilities

  • Design, develop, and execute complex cellular immunology assays to identify and validate novel targets for cancer immunotherapy research.
  • Perform mammalian cell culture, including maintenance and manipulation of primary human immune cells such as T cells and other patient-derived cell populations.
  • Assess T cell activation, functionality, and immune responses using techniques including flow cytometry, ELISpot, and cell-based functional assays.
  • Generate, analyze, interpret, and communicate experimental data in a clear and scientifically rigorous manner.
  • Maintain detailed and accurate laboratory records in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Safety, Health and Environment standards, and AstraZeneca policies.
  • Collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams to share scientific knowledge and support project objectives across research programs.
  • Contribute to the optimization and continuous improvement of assay platforms, methodologies, and laboratory workflows.
  • Support the preparation of scientific reports, presentations, publications, and other documentation to communicate research findings.
  • Stay current with advancements in immunology and related scientific fields and apply new knowledge to ongoing research activities.

  • Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, PhD, or equivalent experience in Immunology, Cell Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, or a related life sciences discipline.
  • Minimum of 2 years of relevant experience.
  • Hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture, including primary human immune cells such as T cells.
  • Experience performing immunological assays, including flow cytometry (FACS) and ELISpot.
  • Working knowledge of biochemical and cellular assay techniques, including ELISA and cell-based functional assays.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret experimental data and draw scientifically sound conclusions.
  • Excellent attention to detail and commitment to maintaining accurate laboratory records and documentation.
  • Strong organizational, communication, and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively in a team environment.

  • Knowledge of multi-parameter flow cytometry panel design, optimization, and analysis using FlowJo or equivalent software.
  • Experience with high-content imaging, multiplex cytokine analysis, or other advanced immunological assay platforms.
  • Understanding of antigen-specific T cell biology, cancer immunology, or vaccine research.
  • Experience supporting translational research or biomarker discovery programs.
  • Familiarity with experimental design, statistical analysis, and data visualization tools.
  • Previous experience in a pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or academic research environment.
