PopVax is an Indian full-stack biotechnology company developing novel mRNA vaccines and therapeutics using computational protein design. Our first vaccine is a next-generation COVID-19 booster, which will enter a first-in-human Phase I clinical trial in the U.S. this year. We have a preclinical pipeline of 6 additional novel vaccine candidates built on our mRNA-LNP platform that we will be taking into clinical trials over the next few years. Our work to date has been funded primarily via project agreements totalling 10+ million USD with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Vitalik Buterin's public health & biosecurity organisation Balvi.We are looking for an exceptional Scientist for our Hyderabad labs to design, develop, and validate immunoassays (including flow cytometry-based T-cell assays, and other cell-based functional assays) to evaluate immune responses and cytotoxicity. You will also analyse, interpret, and document experimental results while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Qualifications

A PhD or Master’s degree in Cancer Biology, Cell Biology, Immunology or Biotechnology is a requirement, with 3+ years of relevant industry experience is strongly preferred.
Demonstrated experience in bioassay development and extensive hands-on experience with flow cytometry, and cell-based functional assays is must. Proficiency in data analysis using software such as GraphPad Prism and FlowJo will be useful.
At least six months experience performing mammalian cell culture (both adherent and suspension cell lines).
Previous experience of working with primary immune cells, spheroid/organoid models and peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be an advantage.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills. The ability to present scientific findings clearly and concisely is a vital and non-negotiable component of success at PopVax.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a demonstrated track record of independently interpreting experimental data and troubleshooting technical challenges.
A willingness to shoulder substantial and often repetitive assay workloads on a daily basis and a desire to rapidly learn, troubleshoot, and master new experimental techniques.
Able to maximise his/her contribution in the assigned projects with proper planning and execution is necessary.
Strictly adhering to good lab practices, maintaining laboratory records and ensuring compliance with company policies, safety regulations, and quality standards at all times in the office premises is mandatory.

We offer very competitive compensation, comprehensive health insurance with the option to cover immediate family (including pre-existing conditions), and, most importantly, a collaborative work environment focused on solving the cutting-edge multidisciplinary challenges of our novel mRNA platform.
