Scientist I

ApTask Global Workforce (AGW) is seeking a Scientist I for a 12+ month contract position with a biotechnology company. This is an on-site position located in South San Francisco, CA.

Summary:
We are seeking a highly motivated research associate to join the Translational Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (tPKPD) Department. This role is part of a multidisciplinary group that supports and applies preclinical PKPD tools to determine the PK and metabolic fate of candidate therapeutics. The successful candidate will bridge the gap between PKPD study support and data informatics, contributing to nonclinical study execution, database management, and the development of analytical workflows. This role is unique in its dual focus: performing traditional nonclinical PKPD study execution while actively driving the department's transition toward automated data workflows and advanced informatics. The successful candidate will help "sunset" manual processes in favor of programmatic solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Contribute to outsourcing PK study design, monitoring, and execution.
• Perform lab-related activities including dose material preparation and possible sample/tissue preparation.
• Conduct PK data analysis and maintain/update departmental databases.
• Utilize coding techniques to streamline data entry, perform statistical analysis, and generate study reports.
• Actively participate in department interactions and deliver department presentations regarding study findings.

Qualifications:

• A BS or MS degree in Biological and/or data science or similar.
• Basic understanding of animal physiology and cell culture.
• Familiarity with bioanalytical techniques such as ELISA, FACS, and LCMS.
• Must be self-motivated, detail-oriented, and an independent thinker.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills and demonstrated effectiveness in a team setting are required.
• Only candidates available and ready to work directly as ApTask employees will be considered for this position.

Desired skills:

• 1-2 years of hands-on preclinical R&D experience, preferably within a biotech or pharmaceutical setting.
• Strong proficiency in data analysis and the ability to apply coding techniques to manage large datasets.
• Experience with database entry and management.

Pay rate range: $38.14 - $50.81 hourly.
