• Support the design, development and execution of preclinical and translational studies for vaccines and biologics.
• Evaluate novel vaccine and immunotherapy candidates using in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo approaches.
• Contribute to the execution, analysis and interpretation of pharmacology studies, with particular emphasis on in vivo studies.
• Support the development, qualification and routine performance of functional assays for preclinical and analytical development activities.
• Implement functional assays to characterize clinical and preclinical vaccine candidates, including immunological endpoint assessments.
• Assist in the identification and validation of new targets for vaccine or therapeutic intervention, contributing to the overall research strategy.
• Support daily laboratory operations, equipment maintenance, inventory management and documentation in accordance with applicable procedures.
• Work closely with preclinical CROs, academic collaborators and cross-functional teams to conduct in vivo studies, develop assays, evaluate immunological endpoints and critically interpret results.
• Apply scientific literature, technical expertise and relevant regulatory requirements to support research planning and study execution.
• Interpret, troubleshoot, analyse and report complex scientific data in a clear and timely manner.
• Assist in the preparation of study protocols, technical reports, data summaries and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
• Contribute to research reports, regulatory-supporting documents and manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Education, Behavioural Competencies and Skills:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Biotechnology, Biology, Microbiology, Immunology, Cell Biology or a related discipline, with animal research experience.
• Hands-on experience with mouse studies, a valid RCULAC certificate, and cell culture experience are required.
• Experience performing in vitro assays, serological analyses and cell-based assays to evaluate immune responses to vaccination is preferred.
• Ability to independently execute experimental approaches with minimal supervision and sound scientific judgement.
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional environment, with strong ownership, independence and collaboration skills.
• Highly motivated, organized and meticulous, with a strong work ethic and attention to detail.
