Associate Scientist II, III, Translational BiologyAbout Us:

Alpha-9 Oncology is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing radiopharmaceuticals for solid and hematologic malignancies. Alpha-9 has a portfolio of molecules entering clinical trials and a robust pipeline of additional targets for future development. With a strong cash position, raised from leading healthcare investors, Alpha-9 is poised to dramatically expand its team and accelerate its pipeline.

Radiopharmaceuticals, which enable internal delivery of radiation directly to tumor sites, are emerging as an exciting new class of cancer drugs. The field has evolved dramatically in the last few years, attributable to scientific advances and recent product launches. Radiopharmaceuticals are unique in that the same molecule can be used for imaging or therapeutic purposes, allowing doctors to visualize the molecule in patients prior to administration of therapy. The drug development cycle is also much shorter and capital efficient than traditional modalities.

Alpha-9 Oncology is seeking an Associate Scientist, Translational Biology to join our growing team. The ideal candidate will be team oriented and have experience in providing hands-on technical support for our in vivo research programs, preferably with tumor animal models and radioactive substances.
