Job Description
Allergan Aesthetics R&D Biological Research is seeking a highly motivated and innovative candidate for the role of Associate Research Scientist II In Vitro Pharmacology.
The successful candidate for this position will work independently and as part of a team to contribute expertise to projects aimed at designing developing and optimizing novel in vitro complex cell models that mimic physiological or pathological conditions and enable the study of various biological processes as well as facilitating compound screening efforts. This role requires expertise in cell and organ culture techniques stem cell culture and induced cell differentiation tissue engineering and a strong background in molecular biology. Additionally the candidate will participate and conduct in vitro assay development work to support discovery research projects and target validation studies in diseases of hair and skin. She/he/they will organize analyze and interpret results and make recommendations based on experimental findings.
The candidate will collaborate extensively with other research scientists and associates while taking personal responsibility for the success of assigned tasks and projects. Experimental design will be guided in consultation with senior scientific team members but the candidate is expected to conduct experiments with substantial independence or in collaboration with other scientists as appropriate.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and optimize protocols for the efficient and reproducible differentiation of iPSCs into specific cell types.
- Characterize and validate the differentiated cells using molecular and functional assays to ensure their fidelity and functionality.
- Work in a team environment and coordinate the design development and optimization of in vitro assays to support discovery research projects and target validation studies related to hair and skin diseases.
- Collaborate with crossfunctional teams including biologists engineers and data scientists to integrate the developed cell models into larger research projects including supporting in vivo model development and in vivo studies
- Stay uptodate with the latest advancements in the field of in vitro cell models/assays to incorporate cuttingedge techniques and technologies into the development process.
- Conduct experimental approaches with some supervisory guidance. Discuss recommend and modify troubleshoot experimental techniques as needed.
- Demonstrate excellent oral and written communication skills with detailed and organized documentation of experimental plans data analysis dissemination of results and electronic notebook record keeping.
- Prepare technical reports presentations and appropriate documentation of work performed. Assist supervisor in maintaining project documentation.
