High-throughput scientist

About Serova

Serova builds personalized cancer vaccines. Each vaccine is made for the individual patient from their own samples and given in partnership with their treating physician.

The role

Every patient gets their own vaccine, so we need to test a lot of targets fast. You'll run our high-throughput peptide and TCR screening: testing large libraries of peptides, peptide-HLA complexes and TCRs to find what works for each patient.

Who you are

• A bench scientist who thinks in libraries and plates, not single experiments
• Comfortable working alongside computational people and ML models
• Early career is fine if your screening experience is real
• High agency, friendly and low ego

Requirements

• An MSc or PhD in immunology, protein engineering, bioengineering or similar
• Hands-on high-throughput screening: display libraries, pooled screens or plate-based assays
• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, or willing to relocate
• Authorized to work in the US, or a realistic path to get there

What will make you stand out

• Peptide, peptide-HLA or TCR screening
• Experience at a high-throughput biology startup, such as a protein testing or screening platform
• Display and library methods: yeast, phage or mammalian display, pooled screens
• Computational fluency: structural bioinformatics, or ML on immune repertoires
• You run liquid handlers and write your own robot methods
• Training in a strong systems or synthetic immunology lab
