What is the difference between Volunteer Bioassay Scientist vs Laboratory Technician?

AspectVolunteer Bioassay ScientistLaboratory Technician
Required CredentialsTypically requires a bachelor's degree in biology, biochemistry, or related fieldUsually requires a high school diploma or associate degree, some roles may need technical certifications
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, clinical trial settings, often involving animal or cell-based assaysLaboratories, manufacturing facilities, quality control labs
Employer & Industry UsagePharmaceutical companies, research institutions, biotech firmsHospitals, biotech companies, research labs

The Volunteer Bioassay Scientist and Laboratory Technician roles share some laboratory environment aspects but differ mainly in educational requirements and job responsibilities. Volunteer Bioassay Scientists focus on experimental research and bioassay procedures, often requiring a higher level of scientific education, while Laboratory Technicians support lab operations, perform routine tests, and may have less formal education. Both roles are essential in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, but they serve different functions within research and development processes.

Job description

Job Family:
Scientist
Travel Required:
Up to 10%
Clearance Required:
Ability to Obtain Public Trust
Our federal client conducts regulatory science research to support the evaluation and monitoring of drug quality, safety, efficacy, and pharmaceutical quality standards.
The researcher will support laboratory-based experiments focused on NF-κB activity and signal detection strategies. This work supports regulatory science objectives related to potency assay development for biological products whose mechanisms of action depend on modulation of specific subunits.
What You Will Do:
  • Perform mammalian cell culture, cell line engineering support, and maintenance of relevant human cell lines used as bioassay substrates.
  • Develop, optimize, and support qualification of cell-based bioassays capable of detecting total NF-κB activity and subunit-specific NF-κB activity, with emphasis on c-Rel-specific bioassays for comparative analysis studies.
  • Process, analyze, interpret, and document experimental data in accordance with project plans, laboratory standards, and applicable quality expectations.
  • Prepare technical reports, scientific summaries, presentations, and final project documentation describing experimental procedures, data analysis, findings, and conclusions.
  • Support manuscript preparation and dissemination of scientific findings through internal and external scientific presentations or conferences.
  • Maintain complete and accurate laboratory notebooks, experimental records, methods, data files, and supporting documentation.
  • Participate in interdisciplinary scientific collaborations with regulatory staff and other project stakeholders to advance public health objectives.
  • Provide project updates, progress summaries, issue identification, and recommendations to support effective project execution.
  • Complete required corporate and client training and maintain required credentials and system access.

What You Will Need:
  • Ph.D. degree in molecular biology, cell biology, or a closely related scientific field.
  • Minimum two (2) years of relevant research experience in general molecular biology, cell-based assay development, bioassay characterization, and experimental design and mammalian cell culture techniques.
  • Experience designing and executing scientific studies independently with high-level guidance from project leaders.
  • Experience conducting data collection, analysis, and preparation of scientific manuscripts, technical reports, or research summaries.
  • Ability to process, interpret, and clearly communicate complex scientific data to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills, including experience preparing technical reports and scientific presentations.
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative laboratory research environment and support regulatory science objectives.

What Would Be Nice To Have:
  • Experience developing, optimizing, qualifying, or validating bioassay methods for biological products, biotechnology products, biosimilars, or complex therapeutics.
  • Experience developing potency, functional, mechanism-of-action, or subunit-specific bioassays (i.e. NF-κB, c-Rel, RelA, RelB, p50, p52) and analyzing inflammatory and oncology-related signaling pathways.
  • Familiarity with ICH, USP, FDA, GLP, ISO, or equivalent laboratory quality standards.
  • Experience preparing manuscripts, scientific posters, regulatory science reports, white papers, or conference presentations.
  • Prior experience supporting FDA, HHS, NIH, or other public health or regulatory science research programs.

The annual salary range for this position is $65,000.00-$108,000.00. Compensation decisions depend on a wide range of factors, including but not limited to skill sets, experience and training, security clearances, licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs.
What We Offer:
Guidehouse offers a comprehensive, total rewards package that includes competitive compensation and a flexible benefits package that reflects our commitment to creating a diverse and supportive workplace.
Benefits include:
  • Medical, Rx, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • Personal and Family Sick Time & Company Paid Holidays
  • Parental Leave
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan
  • Group Term Life and Travel Assistance
  • Voluntary Life and AD&D Insurance
  • Health Savings Account, Health Care & Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts
  • Transit and Parking Commuter Benefits
  • Short-Term & Long-Term Disability
  • Tuition Reimbursement, Personal Development, Certifications & Learning Opportunities
  • Employee Referral Program
  • Corporate Sponsored Events & Community Outreach
  • Care.com annual membership
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Supplemental Benefits via Corestream (Critical Care, Hospital Indemnity, Accident Insurance, Legal Assistance and ID theft protection, etc.)
  • Position may be eligible for a discretionary variable incentive bonus
