Senior Research Associate - Scientist I, Discovery Biology - Contract

Senior Research Associate - Scientist I, Discovery Biology - Contract Help translate Nurix’s targeted protein degradation science into real therapies for patients with cancer and inflammatory disease. As a Senior Research Associate/Scientist I in Discovery Biology, you’ll run the cell-based assays and mechanism-of-action studies that move small molecule and degrader-antibody conjugate programs from hypothesis to lead candidate. It’s hands-on bench science with a direct line to the clinic. Position Description The Opportunity Plan, execute, and analyze in vitro cell-based assays to support small molecule and degrader-antibody conjugate discovery efforts in cancer oncology, including mechanistic studies and new target identification Perform routine and specialized cell culture (cancer cell lines and/or primary cells) to support lead progression and follow-up studies Independently troubleshoot experimental issues and proactively introduce new techniques and efficiencies to accelerate drug discovery Analyze and interpret experimental data to quantify drug potency and activity, and communicate results clearly to project teams Upload and maintain experimental data in electronic lab notebooks and enterprise databases with a high level of accuracy and timeliness Collaborate closely with scientists across disciplines, contributing to experimental design, meeting presentations, and project strategy What You’ll Bring Bachelor’s degree with 8+ years of relevant industry experience, Master’s degree with 4+ years, or Ph.D. with 0–2 years of industry experience in Cell Biology, Cancer Biology, Molecular Biology, or a related field (final level based on education, experience, and demonstrated independence) Strong background in cancer cell biology Extensive hands-on experience with cell culture (cancer cell lines and/or primary cells) and good aseptic technique Hands-on experience and proficiency with low- to medium-throughput cell-based assay platforms such as HTRF, AlphaLISA/ELISA
