About the opportunity
You are an experienced cellular/molecular biologist, a creative and collaborative individual with a strong enthusiasm for experimental research in immunologyYou have a proven track record operating through ambiguity, and exploration of novel biology though the application of state-of-art molecular biology techniques as well as pharmacological interrogationPrior experience working with primary human immune cells is highly desiredYou will employ cutting-edge, high-throughput functional genomics tools, to interrogate novel immune biology and perform mechanistic studies to support the execution of new drug discovery programsYou have experience in translating experimental and novel research findings into a drug discovery strategy; an ability to articulate the opportunity against an awareness of unresolved uncertainty, confidence in rationale and therapeutic differentiation for the treatment of severe inflammatory as well as autoimmune diseases.
A strong desire to learn in a growth environment is essentialJnana is committed to the training and development of our talentYou will have a track record of being an active team player and exceptional collaborative endeavor as well as excellent communication skillsYou are scientifically curious, treat opportunity and challenges with equal vigor and contribute beyond your precise role descriptionThis is an outstanding opportunity for a passionate scientist, to build and apply their drug hunting skills while contributing to bringing new classes of medicines to patients.
