​Who we are:

NeuCyte is an early stage biotechnology company that focuses on developing treatments for those suffering from neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. We develop translatable cell-based assays for modelling neuro related disorders using patient-derived and genetically-engineered neural cell types to discover novel therapeutics. Based on our SynFire® technology, our proprietary human neural in vitro platforms assess complex electrophysiological and

morphological readouts suited for target identification and validation, as well as drug efficacy testing.

​

What we're looking for: 

We seek a highly motivated Scientist with strong mammalian cell culture experience to join our team. Applicants must be able to keep up with the fast pace of a small biotech startup and work on multiple projects at a time. An individual with neuroscience and human stem cell research experience in a pharmaceutical setting is preferred.     

What you’ll do:

• Develop and characterize in vitro human neural disease models using state-of-the-art genome editing tools

• Develop molecular tools for HTS assays, including genetically encoded sensors and reporters

• Assist in assay development and characterization of in vitro human neuronal culture paradigms

•  Interact with CROs and vendors for assay optimization and cell line QC

 

Required: 

•  PhD with 4 years of closely related technical experience, preferably in a pharmaceutical or biotech lab environment.

• Organized and detail-oriented mind-set, excellent record keeping

• Ability to work within and across small teams efficiently

• Self-starter, enthusiastic about trouble-shooting and process optimization under the guidance of more experienced personnel.

• Clear written and verbal communication across all levels of the team
