What does a Car T Scientist do?

A CAR T Scientist researches and develops chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies, a type of immunotherapy used to treat cancer. They design, test, and optimize CAR T cells in laboratory settings, ensuring their safety and effectiveness before clinical trials. Their work involves genetic engineering, cell culture, and analyzing immune responses. CAR T Scientists collaborate with teams of biologists, clinicians, and regulatory experts to advance therapies from the lab to patient treatment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Car T Scientist?

To thrive as a Car T Scientist, you need a strong background in cellular biology, immunology, and molecular techniques, typically supported by an advanced degree in a relevant scientific field. Familiarity with laboratory equipment such as flow cytometers, cell culture systems, and gene-editing technologies like CRISPR, as well as compliance with biosafety and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards, is essential. Strong problem-solving skills, effective communication, and attention to detail are important soft skills in this position. These competencies are crucial for conducting research and development of CAR T-cell therapies safely and efficiently while collaborating within multidisciplinary teams.

What does a typical workday look like for a Car T Scientist?

A typical workday for a Car T Scientist involves planning and performing laboratory experiments related to the development and optimization of CAR T-cell therapies, such as designing constructs, culturing cells, and analyzing results using advanced techniques like flow cytometry. You'll also document findings, contribute to troubleshooting sessions, and participate in team meetings to strategize ongoing projects or share data. Collaboration is common, as you'll work closely with colleagues in research, clinical, and manufacturing teams. The role offers a dynamic environment with hands-on lab work, opportunities for scientific discussion, and the chance to make meaningful impacts in advancing cell therapy.

Job description

Scientist III
$76/hr with medical benefits or $80/hr without out medical benefits.
6 month initial contract with possibility of extensions
Onsite - South San Francisco
Work schedule is 8 am to 5 pm Monday - Friday
Orion Project Services is working with a market-leading pharmaceutical company on an exciting opportunity for a Scientist III to join its CAR-T Biology team in South San Francisco.
The successful candidate will design CAR constructs, execute functional and phenotyping assays, interpret complex scientific data and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to advance pipeline programs. This is an initial six-month, fully onsite contract paying $76/hour with medical benefits or $80/hour without benefits, with the possibility of extension.
Job Description:
The CAR-T Biology team in South San Francisco, part of the Immuno-Oncology Organization, is seeking a Scientist III to support the development of in vivo CAR-T platforms from concept through preclinical development. The candidate will work at the intersection of synthetic biology and immune modulation. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in CAR-T biology, T-cell functional assays, and therapeutic development. The role includes designing CAR constructs, executing advanced cell-based assays and collaborating with cross-functional teams to generate high-quality data that support pipeline programs.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Apply subject matter expertise in T cell and synthetic biology approaches toward the development of the next-generation in vivo CAR-T cell therapies, and the ability to translate evolving scientific and intellectual property insights into impactful therapeutic programs.
  • Independently establish, track, and deliver on project milestones and experimental timelines, ensuring alignment with program objectives and organizational priorities, while adapting to evolving scientific needs.
  • Design and execute in vitro assays to evaluate CAR-T biology, including assessment of cytotoxicity, T-cell effector function, and immune cell phenotyping.
  • Organize, analyze, and synthesize complex scientific data, and effectively communicate experimental strategies, results, and interpretations to internal and external stakeholders through clear and impactful presentations and scientific reports.
  • Maintain comprehensive and well-documented records in an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN).
Qualifications:
  • BS, or equivalent education, with typically 7 or more years of experience; or MS, or equivalent education, with typically 5 or more years of experience; or PhD level with experience in CAR-T, genetic medicine, or immuno-oncology.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently design, perform, and interpret key experiments to address scientific questions. Proven capacity to quickly learn and apply new laboratory techniques. Able to manage multiple tasks efficiently while meeting deadlines. Strong skills in scientific writing and verbal communication.
  • Extensive experience in assay development for CAR-T candidate generation and assessment
  • Previous experience in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) construct design, CAR-T production, and T cell function evaluation.
  • Deep expertise in primary T cell isolation, activation, transduction, T cell cytotoxicity, proliferation, cytokine profiling, multi-color flow cytometry, and immunological assays (e.g., ELISA, Luminex, cytotoxicity assays) is required.
  • Previous experience in leading preclinical cell therapy projects and mentoring scientists will be a plus
  • Experience in cell-based in vitro assay development and semi-automated liquid handling systems for high-throughput workflows is a plus.
