ELISA Bioanalytical Scientist

Location: South San Francisco, CA — Fully Onsite
Employment Type: 1-Year W-2 Contract | No C2C
Pay Rate: $42.59–$47.59/hour
Schedule: Monday–Friday | Standard 8-hour shift

Role Overview

BEPC is seeking an ELISA Bioanalytical Scientist to support a leading client’s Translational Pharmacokinetics & Pharmacodynamics (tPKPD) research team. This hands-on laboratory role will support fast-paced genetic and therapeutic development programs through the execution and development of ligand-binding, quantitative ELISA, and in vitro cell-based assays.

The ideal candidate is an experimental scientist who enjoys working at the bench and can consistently generate high-quality, reproducible data under accelerated project timelines. Strong hands-on ELISA experience, in vitro laboratory expertise, and at least 1 year of industry experience are essential for this position.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute, develop, and optimize quantitative ELISA and other ligand-binding assays to support research and development programs.
• Perform hands-on in vitro and cell-based experimental work according to established protocols and project requirements.
• Develop, follow, and troubleshoot biochemical and bioanalytical assay protocols.
• Analyze, interpret, document, and communicate experimental results.
• Support automated assay workflows and assist with basic troubleshooting of laboratory automation platforms.
• Maintain accurate experimental records and author technical reports and scientific documentation.
• Present data, findings, and scientific insights to cross-functional project teams.
• Manage multiple experiments and project priorities while meeting accelerated timelines.
• Collaborate effectively with scientists and other cross-functional partners in a high-performing laboratory environment.

Qualifications

Required

• BS or MS in Biological Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a closely related discipline.
• Minimum 1 year of hands-on assay development experience in an industry setting.
• Strong hands-on expertise with ligand-binding assays, particularly quantitative ELISA.
• Demonstrated experience developing and/or executing bioanalytical assays.
• Strong in vitro experimental capability; candidates whose experience is primarily in vivo will not meet the core needs of this position.
• Ability to consistently generate accurate, reproducible, high-quality experimental data.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively under tight project timelines.
• Strong written and verbal communication, organization, and task-prioritization skills.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.

Highly Desired

• Experience operating and troubleshooting laboratory automation platforms such as Hamilton, Tecan, or Biomek.
• Flow cytometry experience.
• Cell culture maintenance, passaging, and other cell-based laboratory techniques.

Additional Preferred Experience

• Experience with other quantitative ligand-binding platforms such as MSD or Gyros.
• Mass spectrometry experience.
• Biomolecular interaction platforms such as Octet or Biacore.
• Experience with additional biochemical assay formats.
