Senior Research Scientist – Cell Models & Assay Development

About the Company

Avaron AB is a growing consultancy that matches your expertise with the market's most interesting assignments, offering a platform where your professional development is central.

You will join an international Genome Engineering team focused on advancing genome editing and precision medicine for rare diseases. In a laboratory-based role, you will help develop and evaluate genome editing strategies by building relevant cell models, developing assays, and translating experimental outcomes into clear insights for cross-functional stakeholders.

• Establish and maintain disease cell models using immortalized or iPSC cell lines
• Develop and run cellular and biochemical assays to evaluate therapeutic genome editing approaches in disease models
• Optimize genome engineering technologies to support effective gene editing in target cell and tissue types
• Analyze gene editing outcomes and assess efficacy in relevant models
• Document, interpret, and communicate results to stakeholders and partners
• Work independently in your research area and contribute to project teams
• Advise and train less experienced scientists; may take on a supervisory role (non line-management)

• Strong hands-on experience establishing disease-relevant cell models using immortalized and/or iPSC cell lines
• Hands-on experience developing and running cellular and biochemical assays
• Experience analyzing and communicating experimental results to stakeholders and partners
• Ability to initiate, direct, and perform research experiments with limited supervision

• Experience in metabolism research
• Hands-on experience with CRISPR-Cas9 technologies
• Hands-on experience with protein quantification approaches (e.g., Western blot, ELISA) and/or measuring protein activity
• Experience working with lentiviral vectors for engineering cell models

Selections are made on an ongoing basis, so we recommend that you apply as soon as possible.
