BS or MS in the life sciences (e.g., biology, genetics, biochemistry, chemistry, chemical engineering, bioengineering) with 4-8 years post-degree lab experience or PhD in the life sciences with 0-3 years post-degree experience.
Must demonstrate mastery of molecular biology methods, including primer design, PCR, gel electrophoresis, expression construct design cloning and sequence analysis.
Preferred skills include: methods for the characterization of recombinant protein quality and binding, protein display (phage, yeast and library preparation).
Preference for experience in drug development, immunology or protein engineering.
The ability to independently plan, organize, and prioritize work activities. The ability to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams.
Rewards at Arcellx
Our people are our greatest asset, and supporting their well-being is an essential part of delivering on our mission and impacting the lives of patients. Putting this belief into practice means offering strong compensation and benefits.
