Research Scientist

Location: Philadelphia, PA (BioLabs Hub)Target Start Date: September 2026Compensation Range: $75,000 – $85,000 / yearCompany & Platform Overview

About CTIBIOTECH USA (Preclinical CRDMO): CTIBIOTECH USA, a Philadelphia-based biotech company, is a rapidly scaling Precision Medicine CRDMO. Our unique "Hybrid Engine" model bridges the gap between passive bio-storage and predictive medical science. By combining GenVault's world-class, GxP-compliant biorepository logistics with CTIBIOTECH's industrialized tissue engineering, we monetize the entire lifecycle of a biological sample. Through our core Preclinical CRDMO pillars—CTIBioSourcing™, CTISkin™, and CTIPharma™—we generate immediate cash flow and serve as a trusted R&D partner to global pharmaceutical leaders.

About the CTIONCOTEST™ Project: CTIONCOTEST™ is our proprietary precision medicine platform and core valuation driver. It directly solves the critical 95% failure rate in oncology clinical trials caused by inaccurate animal models. Utilizing industrialized 3D-bioprinting and proprietary bio-inks, the platform dissociates a live patient tumor biopsy and re-assembles it into hundreds of identical, reproducible "3D micro-tumors" that perfectly mimic the human tumor microenvironment. CTIONCOTEST™ commercialization is built on three pillars: Laboratory Developed Tests (LDT), Companion Diagnostics (CDx), and Oncology CRO Services.

The Role

We are expanding our core scientific project office and seeking execution-focused R&D research scientists. Each will own distinct customer accounts and validation pipelines, translating complex biological requirements into reproducible, data-rich commercial studies.

• Experimental Design: Author comprehensive study plans, configure experimental controls, analyze high-throughput data curves, and compile detailed technical reports for pharma and cosmetic clients.
• Operational Control: Coordinate with laboratory technician leads to schedule equipment runs, prioritize bio-ink formulations, and verify raw material availability for upcoming testing cycles.
• Client Interface: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for external scientific leads, hosting regular data reviews and refining project scopes as needed.

Qualifications

• Education: B.S. or M.S. in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, or a related life sciences discipline.
• Experience: 3+ years of technical project management experience within a commercial CRO, CRDMO, or pharmaceutical research laboratory.
• Competencies: Strong statistical data analysis skills; proficiency with LIMS and project management tracking systems; and a proven capacity to handle multiple complex study lines simultaneously.
