Research Associate-II (JNJNJP00044179)

BS with 3-6 years experience or an MS with 1-3 years experience.
Works in a research environment in support of new or modified discoveries as it relates to Janssen R&D. The individual will be actively involved in laboratory work related to the sampling of chemicals, raw materials, and-or blood and tissues for the determination of pharmacokinetic properties of therapeutics coming from various research targets through in vivo experimentation. The individual will be adept at establishing and writing protocols and interacting with Therapeutic Teams to design the most appropriate experiments. ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS include but not limited to:- Interact with vivarium staff to coordinate in vivo study execution and sample acquisition.- Manage processing and characterization of samples obtained from in vivo studies.- Execute soluble protein isolation and analysis via bead-based multiplex platform.- Mammalian cell culture and aseptic technique.- Ability to manage workload, coordinate in vivo studies and prioritize tasks.- Demonstration of oral, written and interpersonal skills including the ability to document and effectively communicate interpretation of data and results validation of assays.
• Janssen is looking for a motivated individual to join our Spring House-based team and contribute experimentally to programs targeting inflammatory bowel disease. The candidate should have a BS with 3-6 years of experience, a MS with 1-3 years of experience or a PhD in biological sciences, with substantial training in immunology, pharmacology and/or cellular biology. Hands-on experience with diverse cell-based assays for therapeutic screening is necessary, particularly analysis of cell responses using ELISA and FACS. Hands-on experience with cell culture (cell lines and primary cells) is absolutely required. Experience with human or mouse whole blood assays and blood handling skills is preferred. Direct experience with biochemical techniques, such as protein quantification and western blot analysis, are preferred. The candidate should also have strong quantitative skills and data analysis capabilities. Good organizational skills, flexibility and a proven ability to work collaboratively in a fast paced, highly matrixed, interactive environment is of the essence.
• The candidate should have a BS/MS/PhD in biological sciences with substantial training in cell biology, and/or immunology.
