Contract Scientist/Sr. Scientist - In Vivo Pharmacology and NGS

Position Summary: We are seeking a Scientist or Senior Scientist with experience in in vivo pharmacology and next-generation sequencing (NGS) to support preclinical research programs. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience working with animal tissue samples and applying NGS or genomic sequencing approaches to characterize biological responses to drug candidates.

Responsibilities: Design and execute in vivo pharmacology studies to evaluate drug efficacy, pharmacodynamics, and mechanisms of action. Collect, process, and analyze animal tissue samples from preclinical studies. Apply NGS-based approaches to analyze gene expression, genomic, or transcriptomic changes in tissue samples. Collaborate with bioinformatics, molecular biology, and discovery teams to interpret sequencing data. Develop and optimize tissue processing, RNA/DNA extraction, and sequencing workflows. Analyze and present experimental results to cross-functional project teams. Contribute to study design, data interpretation, and preparation of reports and presentations. Maintain accurate experimental records and ensure studies are conducted in accordance with applicable laboratory and regulatory standards.

Requirements: Ph.D. or equivalent advanced degree in Pharmacology, Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, or a related discipline. Industry or academic experience in in vivo pharmacology/preclinical research. Hands-on experience with NGS and/or transcriptomic/genomic analysis. Experience working with animal tissues and samples from in vivo studies. Familiarity with RNA/DNA isolation, library preparation, sequencing technologies, and/or sequencing data analysis. Strong experimental design, data analysis, and communication skills.
