Senior Product Owner - Power System Applications- with an Interest in the Green Energy Transition
Senior Scientist – Cell Therapy Analytics & Development (ID: NCTG_260501) About the role Are you passionate about translating advanced stem cell biology into robust, development-ready analytical strategies? Do you thrive at the interface of cell therapy, functional genomics, and quantitative assay development? We are looking for a Senior Scientist to play a central role in building next-generation analytical and translational platforms for iPSC-derived cell therapies. This position is ideal for a scientist who combines deep biological insight with hands-on expertise in assay development, multi-omics, and high-content phenotyping, and who is motivated to shape how cell therapies are characterized and advanced toward clinical application. The position As a Senior Scientist, you will: · Lead the design and implementation of advanced analytical assays supporting cell therapy programs, including potency, purity, and functional characterization. · Develop and optimize human Pluripotent Stem Cell (hPSC)-based cellular models and differentiation systems for translational and development purposes. · Drive integration of multi-modal datasets (e.g., transcriptomics, imaging, flow cytometry) to enable data-driven decision-making. · Establish and apply high-content imaging and phenotypic screening approaches for functional characterization of cell products. · Contribute to the definition of fit-for-purpose analytical strategies bridging early discovery, process development, and CMC requirements. · Collaborate closely across scientific domains (biology, analytics, process development, external partners) to align assay performance with translational needs. · Support and mentor junior scientists, students, or collaborators where relevant. · Contribute to external collaborations, scientific communication, and publication strategy. Qualifications · To be our ideal candidate, you should have: · A PhD in biochemistry, stem cell biology, developmental biology, or a scientific related field, with extensive experience (10+ years) in mammalian cell systems. · Strong expertise in hPSC biology, including differentiation and disease-relevant cellular models. · Hands-on experience in cardiomyocyte differentiation from pluripotent stem cells, with understanding of cardiac developmental biology. · Proven experience in analytical assay development relevant to cell therapy (e.g., potency, purity, functional assays). · Hands-on experience with transcriptomic approaches (e.g., scRNA-seq) and their integration into biological interpretation. · Strong experience in high-content imaging, phenotypic screening, and quantitative cellular readouts. · Experience with CRISPR/Cas-based functional approaches and/or target validation strategies. · Solid background in flow cytometry, molecular biology, and advanced cell-based assays. · Deep understanding of developmental biology and gene regulatory networks, including transcription factor–driven cell fate decisions. · Experience working in cross-functional or translational environments, ideally bridging research and development. · Exposure to industrial or applied research environments (biotech or pharma) is highly desirable. · A track record of scientific publications and/or innovation. · Fluency in written and spoken English. Preferred (but not required) · Experience translating hPSC-based systems into development or manufacturing-relevant contexts. · Exposure to GMP/GLP environments or regulatory expectations for cell therapy products. · Experience developing assays supporting manufacturing or process development decisions. · Experience working in early-stage or fast-moving environments bridging academia and industry. Personal profile You are a scientifically driven and highly collaborative individual who: · Thinks both mechanistically and translationally. · Is comfortable navigating complex biological systems and data. · Enjoys building new platforms and approaches from the ground up. · Communicates clearly across disciplines and stakeholders. · Thrives in a dynamic, early-stage environment with high impact potential. Employment type: Permanent position, subject to standard probation period. As an early-stage company, we offer a stage-appropriate compensation package with a clear path for progression as the company develops, alongside the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from long-term value creation. Application Please submit your application by email to, including your CV only, no later than 17 May 2026. We kindly ask candidates not to include a cover letter or references at this stage. Selected candidates will be contacted directly for follow-up discussions. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and the position will be closed when we find the right candidate.
