Job description

Battelle delivers when others can't. We conduct research and development, manage national laboratories, design and manufacture products and deliver critical services for our clients-whether they are a multi-national corporation, a small start-up or a government agency.
We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
Job Summary
We are seeking a curious and passionate scientist to lead intracellular delivery and formulation development for a biostabilization platform. In this role, you will design and execute high-throughput screening campaigns, integrate delivery and formulation strategies, and collaborate across a multi-institution team of academic and commercial partners.
This position offers direct ownership of a core technical thrust within a high-impact, federally funded program, providing a unique opportunity to drive meaningful scientific advancement at the intersection of cell biology, bioengineering, and translational research.
Responsibilities
As a Cell Delivery and Formulation Scientist, the selected individual will lead and contribute to intracellular delivery and formulation development across a multidisciplinary, federally funded program. Responsibilities may include:
  • Develop and optimize intracellular delivery of cargo into multiple mammalian cell types, including parameter development on reference delivery systems
  • Design, formulate, and optimize cocktails for cell stabilization and recovery
  • Plan and execute high-throughput screening of delivery and formulation conditions using automated liquid handling, plate-based viability and metabolic assays, and flow cytometry
  • Define quantitative acceptance criteria; analyze viability, apoptosis, metabolic activity, and recovery data; and drive down-selection of lead conditions
  • Coordinate technical execution with academic and commercial partners, including transfer of protocols and materials
  • Author technical reports, standard operating procedures, and program deliverables; present results to internal leadership and sponsors
  • Integrate delivery and formulation with downstream bioprocessing and support recovery optimization
  • Maintain accurate laboratory records and adhere to safety and quality standards

Key Qualifications
  • Ph.D. in Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Cell or Molecular Biology, Biophysics, Materials Science, or a related field with 0-2 years of experience; or an M.S. with 2+ years of relevant experience
  • Demonstrated experience in intracellular delivery or cell membrane permeabilization using one or more physical or non-viral methods (e.g., microfluidic cell squeezing/mechanoporation, electroporation or nucleofection, sonoporation, microinjection, nanoneedle/nanostraw, or comparable techniques)
  • Hands-on expertise in mammalian cell culture, including primary cells and cell lines, and sterile technique
  • Experience developing and running quantitative cell-based assays (viability, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, metabolic activity) and flow cytometry
  • Experience formulating and optimizing biological formulations or protectants, or a strong foundation in formulation science
  • Strong data analysis skills with the ability to define and apply acceptance criteria
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and written and verbal communication skills; ability to work independently and lead within a multidisciplinary team
  • Applicants must have authorization to work in the United States. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of any employment Visa at this time.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with cell stabilization technologies such as desiccation, cryopreservation, or lyophilization
  • Familiarity with protectant biology and anhydrobiosis
  • Experience with high-throughput screening, automated liquid handling, and design of experiments (DOE)
  • Proficiency with data analysis tools (e.g., GraphPad Prism, R, Python, FlowJo)
  • Track record of peer-reviewed publications or conference proceedings
  • Experience with cell and gene therapy products or manufacturing (e.g., CAR-T, stem cell, or other cell-based therapeutics)
