Requirements

  • Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a related discipline with 0–3 years of relevant industry experience; M.S. with 2–5 years of experience will also be considered
  • Hands-on experience in executing and optimizing immunoassays such as ELISA. Experience with high-sensitivity platforms (Simoa, MSD, or Luminex) is a plus but not required
  • Familiarity with molecular biology methods (e.g., qPCR, ddPCR)
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with attention to detail in experimental execution
  • Ability to manage time effectively, work collaboratively, and adapt in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong communication skills, including data presentation and technical documentation
  • Knowledge of biomarker research, assay validation, or clinical sample testing is desirable
  • Background in immunology, neuroscience, or proteomics
  • Ability to manage complex projects in a fast-paced, collaborative environment is highly preferred

Responsibilities

  • Design, conduct, and analyze single-plex NULISA immunoassay experiments to assess various biomarkers across diverse biological matrices
  • Design and optimize assay parameters including sensitivity, specificity, detectability, and precision to execute and deliver NULISA immunoassay projects
  • Troubleshoot technical challenges via root-cause analysis and implement corrective strategies
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders to ensure the timely and accurate completion of deliverables
  • Work cross-functionally across multiple teams including R&D, Sales and Marketing to design, execute and deliver single-plex NULISA immunoassay projects as part of the Technology Access Program

Alamar Biosciences

Develops technology for protein detection and measurement

About Alamar Biosciences

Alamar Biosciences focuses on the study of proteins, known as proteomics, to enhance disease detection and treatment. The company has created NULISA™, a technology that can detect and measure proteins in the human body with high sensitivity and a wide range. This allows researchers and clinicians to profile clinically relevant protein biomarkers, which are essential for developing new diagnostic tests and treatments for various diseases. Alamar's ARGO™ system complements NULISA™ by providing a fully automated, high-throughput platform for precision proteomics. Unlike competitors, Alamar's technology simplifies the process, reducing the need for extensive technical expertise, making it more accessible to clients. The goal of Alamar Biosciences is to improve our understanding of proteins in health and disease, ultimately leading to better early detection and treatment options.
