As a Clinical Research Scientist, you will serve as a primary technical resource for assay-related troubleshooting, data review, feasibility assessments, and testing questions.

You will work closely with R&D when new samples, study concepts, or potential projects are introduced, helping translate those ideas into practical protocols and effective data-collection plans. A key part of the role is determining how proposed methods can be performed consistently, scaled appropriately, and ultimately incorporated into a clinical laboratory environment. This includes reviewing results, investigating unexpected findings, optimizing workflows, developing and maintaining SOPs, supporting instrument verification and assay validation activities, and providing technical guidance to laboratory personnel. You will collaborate with R&D, laboratory operations, quality, regulatory, and other cross-functional teams to ensure that studies are scientifically sound and operationally practical. You may also contribute to regulatory documentation and assay submissions, although regulatory writing is not the primary focus of the position.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
