Scientist 3, Immunology

The Hanna Lab in the Department of Immunology at Genentech is seeking a highly talented, driven and motivated Scientist 3 to investigate novel biological mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets to treat inflammatory diseases. The successful candidate will lead projects that advance our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of T cell biology, with a main emphasis on harnessing immunoregulatory mechanisms for reestablishing immune and tissue homeostasis under inflammatory conditions.

The Opportunity

• Lead innovative research projects focused on understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms of T cell biology and immunoregulatory pathways.

• Drive pipeline programs from discovery toward early clinical development by generating robust proof-of-concept data.

• Design and execute experiments using state-of-the-art technologies, including primary cell isolation, multi-dimensional flow cytometry, and complex disease models.

• Explore novel biological pathways to identify and validate new therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with team members across human genetics, biomarker discovery, and early clinical development.

• Present research findings regularly at intra- and inter-departmental meetings, fostering an open and inquisitive scientific culture.

Who You Are

• You hold a PhD in Immunology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field with a strong track record of research achievement  in the form of high-quality publications

• You possess hands-on expertise in cellular and molecular immunology techniques, including primary cell isolation, multi-dimensional flow cytometry, in vitro immunological assays, and in vivo animal models.

• You have experience independently designing, executing, and interpreting complex scientific experiments.

• You bring strong communication and collaborative skills, thriving in an open, team-oriented laboratory environment.

• You are curious, open-minded, and passionate about advancing science to uncover novel biological mechanisms.

Preferred

• Experience  in T cell biology and/or mucosal immunology.

• Experience with analysis of data from genomic sequencing, scRNA-seq, TCR-seq, CITE-seq or spatial transcriptomics is preferred.

• Experience in culturing 2D and 3D murine or human organoids or other complex in vitro systems is a plus.

Together, we’ll advance along the whole patient journey with the aspiration to prevent, stop and cure diseases.
