Cell Core supports multiple internal organizations by supplying high-quality cellular products that fuel the development of next-generation T-cell therapies. We are seeking a hands-on Assistant Scientist who thrives in the lab and enjoys keeping complex workflows organized and moving. If you are comfortable juggling technical tasks, managing inventory with precision, and communicating across a busy cross-functional landscape — you’ll fit in perfectly.
This role includes executing laboratory processes, coordinating in-lab requests, contributing to manufacturing runs of engineered T-cell intermediates, and helping maintain the operational backbone that makes the Cell Core function smoothly. Flexibility for occasional evening or weekend work is expected — science does not always obey business hours.

- Prepare buffers and media; assist with cell banking as needed.
- Manage freezer inventory; track, allocate, and distribute materials across stakeholders.
- Maintain accurate documentation, records, and data organization.
- Troubleshoot issues and adapt quickly to changing priorities.
- Contribute to data analysis, basic report drafting, and presentation prep.
- A.A. in Lab Technology or B.S. in Biology, Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, or related field.
- 0–2 years of industry bioprocess or relevant laboratory experience.
- Strong aseptic technique — preferred and highly valued.

- Proven ability to manage large inventory systems (freezer, consumables, allocations).
