Scientist I - IVD Assay Development at Alamar Biosciences, Inc.

<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">At Alamar, we are passionate about enabling our customers to make scientific discoveries that translate into clinical outcomes and benefit patients. Our team is growing quickly as we develop innovative approaches to measure critical protein biomarkers from liquid samples that can enable the earliest possible detection of disease. We believe the next frontier in biology is enabled by measuring proteins at higher sensitivity in highly multiplexed assays at the push of a button, which is something only Alamar can do. As we build our team, we seek collaborative, driven, intellectually curious people committed to solving complex challenges. Our culture rewards accountability and cross functional teamwork because we believe this enables the kind of breakthrough thinking that will accelerate our mission.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span data-contrast="auto">The IVD Assay Development Scientist will&nbsp;lead&nbsp;the design, development, optimization, and validation of in vitro diagnostic assays for clinical applications.
