Associate Scientist II/III, Biobanking - Insitro

About the role

The heart of insitro’s strategy is the development of novel, innovative methods in machine learning and high-throughput biology that address key bottlenecks in the drug development pipeline. To accomplish this, we are putting together a team of life scientists with expertise in cell biology and .

The Associate Scientist II/III, Biobanking will be responsible for the generation, culture, cryopreservation, and QC of iPSC banks from patient cell lines. The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary setting and collaborate with coworkers to execute manual and automated cell culture methods, high throughput biochemical and cellular assays, and genetic characterization of cell lines. Furthermore, they will contribute to the development of novel automated cell culture methods as well as high throughput QC assays. The candidate will work closely with a team of multidisciplinary scientists to enable key downstream assays/models and studies to feed into a diverse portfolio of therapeutic area research into neurological and metabolic disorders. We value clear communication, creative-thinking, collaboration, and meticulous scientific exploration. If you are a highly motivated individual and teammate with a strong desire to impact drug discovery across multiple therapeutic areas, we invite you to consider joining our team.

You will:

• Culture immortalized, primary, and iPS cells 
• Develop and execute automated cell culture methods
• Execute cell based assays and report data in a clear and concise manner using an electronic lab notebook system
• Collaborate with colleagues on multi-disciplinary project teams to provide scientific/technical contributions and deliver project goals

You are:

• Meticulous about experimental details and lab work
• A strong team player
• Excited about method development and optimization

You have:

• BS/MS in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology or a relevant field, with a minimum of three years of cell culture experience
• Experience in aseptic cell culture techniques
• The ability to maintain precise documentation
• Experience in iPSC culture (preferred)
• A desire to transform drug discovery and help patients
