Senior Scientist

I am currently recruiting for a Senior Scientist to join a pioneering biotech company based in Ireland.

This role is a central part of a major European research initiative focused on developing next-generation treatments for lung cancer and chronic respiratory diseases (including CF and COPD). It’s a great opportunity for a researcher who wants to stay hands‑on in the lab while also managing high‑level projects and external collaborations.

• Molecular Analysis: Proficient in gene and miRNA PCR.

This is a "high-ownership" position in a start‑up environment. You will be responsible for planning day‑to‑day research, developing SOPs, and assisting with grant applications and partner negotiations.
