The Department of Research Oncology at Genentech is seeking a Scientist 3 to join the Synthetic Immunity division, supporting immune engager and CAR-T cell therapy programs. This role will report to the Lab Head and contribute to advancing next-generation Synthetic Immunity approaches.

The Scientist 3 will play a key role in designing and executing experiments to explore T cell biology and tumor immunology, helping to identify and validate new therapeutic strategies. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated scientist to work in a highly collaborative and innovative research environment.

The Opportunity:

As an integral member of our dynamic team, you will be:

• Design and perform in vitro and in vivo experiments to investigate T cell function and anti-tumor activity.
• Generate, analyze, and interpret data to support target validation and therapeutic hypothesis testing.
• Apply a range of cellular, molecular, and immunological techniques to advance research programs.

Providing Project Contribution:

• Contribute to the progression of Synthetic Immunity programs by delivering high-quality, reproducible data.
• Participate in experimental planning and provide scientific input to project strategy discussions.
• Maintain accurate documentation of experimental work and ensure data integrity.

Collaborating and Communicating:

• Work closely with the Lab Head and cross-functional teams across Research, Translational Medicine, and Drug Development.
• Present data at internal meetings and contribute to external publications and scientific conferences.
• Collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams to achieve project milestones.

Who You Are

• Educational Background: B.S, M.S. or Ph.D. in Immunology, Cell Biology, or a related field.
• Experience: Typically 0–3+ years (Ph D degree) 5+ years (B.S./M.S degree) of relevant postdoctoral training and/or industry experience.
• Strong foundation in T cell immunology, cellular immunology, and/or cancer immunology.
• Demonstrated ability to design and execute experiments independently and analyze complex datasets.
• Track record of independent research to conceive ideas, develop studies and derive conclusions as demonstrated by high profile publications.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with human and/or mouse T cells.
• Experience with advanced genome editing technologies (CRISPR, RNAi etc.) and applications for T cell engineering (e.g., CAR-T or related technologies).
• Experience with in vivo models such as syngeneic or humanized mouse models.
• Experience with immune profiling techniques (e.g., flow cytometry, molecular profiling)
