Associate Scientist - Technology-Enabled Experimental Inflammation Discovery

About the role

Amgen is hiring an Associate Scientist for its Technology-Enabled Experimental Inflammation Discovery team. The role contributes to target discovery and mechanistic insight by designing and running cellular and molecular experiments, analyzing and integrating data, and turning findings into biological insights and clear decisions. It relies on deep experimental capability combined with AI-enabled, computational and advanced data-analysis tools.

Key responsibilities

• Design and execute cellular and molecular experiments and integrate experimental data into biological insights.
• Routinely use AI-enabled, computational and advanced data-analysis tools for hypothesis generation, data analysis and visualization, and scientific communication.
• Work with complex cellular systems such as organoids, co-cultures or other disease-relevant models.
• Work with skin-derived tissues/cells and primary immune-cell culture; keratinocytes and/or mast cells are a plus.
• Plus: multiparameter flow cytometry, quantitative imaging, assay automation, high-content analysis, and mouse models in inflammation or immunology.
• Apply AI-enabled scientific tools, coding or scripting, computational approaches, automation and advanced data-analysis workflows to experimental research.
• Maintain experimental rigor: strong attention to controls, documentation, data integrity, organization and experimental planning, and reliable management of samples, cells, timelines and parallel workflows.

Required profile

• Master's degree and 1 year of scientific research experience in cell biology, molecular biology, immunology or a related field, OR
• Bachelor's degree and 3 years of scientific research experience in those fields.
• Hands-on experience in mammalian cell biology and molecular/cellular assay development, with strong experimental judgment and troubleshooting ability.
• Ability to analyze and communicate complex data clearly; familiarity with AI-enabled or computational workflows is preferred.
• Organizational, collaboration and scientific documentation skills, able to work with moderate discretion and limited supervision in multidisciplinary teams.

Required skills

• Cellular and molecular experimentation
• Primary immune-cell culture
• Preferred: multiparameter flow cytometry, quantitative imaging, assay automation, high-content analysis, mouse models, coding or scripting, data visualization tools

What we offer

• Expected annual salary range of $94,340 to $127,637 in the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico).
• Health, dental and vision coverage, life and disability insurance, and a retirement and savings plan with company contributions.
• Discretionary annual bonus or sales-based incentive plan, stock-based long-term incentives, and flexible work models where possible.
