Job Description:

We are seeking a passionate Senior Scientist to join our Ophthalmology group. In this exciting full-time role, you will focus on research into inflammatory and immune-mediated eye diseases. You will be involved in the selection and refinement of clinically relevant in vitro and in vivo models to study ocular inflammation, and will evaluate therapeutic strategies through both mechanistic and translational studies. We hope you are excited to use your strong experimental skills at the bench to drive the discovery of new treatments for ocular inflammation. As a Senior Scientist, a typical day might include the following: Designing, planning, and completing in vivo studies using rodent models to investigate ocular inflammatory conditions, with a focus on clinically relevant and reproducible models. Performing specialized ocular techniques such as local intra- and extra-ocular injections, fundus and SD-OCT imaging, and tissue dissection for downstream analyses of disease pathology and therapeutic plans. Evaluating inflammatory markers and complement activation in ocular tissues using biochemical and molecular assays, alongside advanced microscopy techniques Analyzing and interpreting experimental data using biological and statistical software such as Prism, Excel, etc. Collaborating with interdisciplinary scientists (immunology, protein science, gene therapy) to advance therapeutic candidates and refine disease models. Delivering impactful presentations to colleagues across the research and development organization, including senior leadership Mentoring and training junior researchers on in vivo ocular techniques and best practices as needed. Staying up-to-date with the latest research and technology in ocular inflammation, and incorporating new ideas to improve our models and assays.
