  • Support ex vivo activities to complement CRO-run in vivo studies
  • Analyze and interpret experimental data, and present findings to internal stakeholders
  • Stay current with scientific literature and emerging technologies in the field of aging

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or equivalent experience with a minimum of 2 years post-graduation research experience
  • Experience in designing, executing, and interpreting cell-based assays
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to build effective relationships in a small team setting
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills

Desired Skills and Attributes

  • Strong molecular and cell biology skills with ability to intuitively troubleshoot and optimize complex assays
  • Experience with biologics
  • Highly self-driven with the ability to work both independently and part of a team

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
