Who You Are: Master’s degree in Biology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Immunology, or related subject area with at least 1-3 years of pharmaceutical experience or Bachelor's degree in Biology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Immunology, or related subject area with at least 3-5 years of pharmaceutical experience. Experience working with immune cells and knowledge of cell biology and immunology are required. Strong hands-on experience in cell culture and standard molecular biology assays, including enzymatic assays, flow cytometry, ELISA, and western blot. Familiarity with data processing, analysis, statistics, and data interpretation. Ability to work collaboratively and efficiently in a team environment, while also taking initiative independently. Must have strong organization, time management, and keen attention to detail. Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly present data and ideas. A track record of embodying Insmed’s five (5) core values: Passion, Accountability, Collaboration, Integrity, and Respect. Nice to have (but not required): Experience working with hematopoietic stem cells is a plus. Experience working with cellular imaging instruments, fluorescence microscopes and qPCR in a plus. Knowledge of neuronal cell biology is a plus. Experience working with microglia/astrocyte co-cultures, neuroinflammation assays, and BBB models is a plus.
