Job Summary
We are seeking a reliable detail-oriented iPSC Bioprocessing Scientist to provide weekend support for the Research & Development (R&D) team through execution of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) bioprocessing and culture operations. This role is responsible for maintaining healthy high-quality iPSC cultures through routine feeding monitoring scale-up and support of differentiation processes using both traditional culture vessels and single-use bioreactor systems.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with aseptic technique mammalian cell culture (iPSC experience preferred) and accurate laboratory documentation. This role requires the ability to work independently manage multiple culture systems in parallel and communicate effectively with cross-functional teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform lab-based bioprocessing activities supporting the R&D team through routine iPSC culture maintenance and cell-based operations using strict aseptic technique.
- Independently execute iPSC expansion passaging media exchanges and maintenance of single-use bioreactor flask and plate-based culture systems in accordance with established protocols.
- Support iPSC differentiation workflows by maintaining culture health confluency and morphology across ongoing processes.
- Conduct routine monitoring and assessment of culture performance including cell counts viability measurements and microscopic imaging.
- Perform cell fixation on in-process and drug substance materials to prepare samples for downstream analytical characterization (e.g. flow cytometry).
- Manage multiple bioreactor systems in parallel and maintain ownership of weekend culture operations with minimal supervision.
- Maintain accurate timely documentation in an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) and clearly communicate weekend process status observations and results to week-day R&D staff and leadership.
- Ensure compliance with laboratory safety quality and operational procedures at all times.
