Senior Applications Scientist - 3D Cell Culture

Vivotex; Eugene (OR); Presencial; USD 90.000 - 120.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

VivoTex designs cellular microenvironments for bioscience research and drug discovery. This hands-on Applications Scientist role begins with approximately 70% bench work to advance in vitro models and support product development for customers.

You will design and execute cell-culture and tissue-engineering studies, analyze data, and translate results into protocols, educational materials, and demonstrations.

Formación

• MS or PhD in biology, cell biology, molecular biology, bioengineering, biomedical engineering, biochemistry, tissue engineering, or a related discipline.
• Demonstrated ability to independently plan, conduct, troubleshoot, analyze, and document wet-lab experiments.
• Strong hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture, aseptic technique, biosafety cabinets, media preparation and exchange, passaging, cryopreservation, and common culture vessels.
• Experience evaluating biological responses using microscopy, image analysis, and/or biochemical assays such as metabolic, viability, immunostaining, ELISA, or related methods.
• Ability to interpret data critically, distinguish supported conclusions from preliminary findings, and communicate results clearly to scientific and cross-functional audiences.
• Strong organization, scientific writing, and project-management skills, with the ability to advance multiple studies in a dynamic startup environment.

Responsabilidades

• Independently design, execute, analyze, troubleshoot, and document cell-culture and tissue-engineering studies that address defined scientific and commercial questions.
