Research Associate for in vivo Nonmalignant Hematology Research (m/f/d)

For one of our clients, a global pioneer in pharmaceuticals, we are currently looking for a Research Associate for in vivo Nonmalignant Hematology Research.

In this role, you will assess efficacy, safety and translatability of gene therapies in nonmalignant hematology (bleeding/thrombotic disorders, anemia, etc..) by using different in vivo and ex vivo assays. Together with a larger team you will work with preclinical animal models and human patient material (blood and plasma) and characterize different gene therapy assets in hemostasis and thrombosis. The ex vivo and in vivo approaches will require you to be skilled in end-to-end experiments from the hands-on animal study, sample collection to different ex vivo assays.

General Information: 
 

• Start date: 01.05.2026
• Latest start date: July 2026
• Duration: 12 months
• Extension: unlikely
• Contract: contract of employment via Randstad
• Workplace: Basel 
• Workload: 100%
• Home Office: not possible (only on exceptions)
• Working hours: standard

 

Tasks & Responsibilities:
 

• Design, execute, and analyze diverse in vivo experiments, including intravenous injections, blood and plasma collection, bleeding and thrombosis models, and related procedures
• Characterize efficacy and safety of novel gene therapy assets using molecular and biochemical assays (e.g., ELISA, thrombin generation assay, chromogenic assays) in murine and human samples
• Prepare, handle, and test patient-derived material (blood and plasma) in in vitro and ex vivo settings
• Perform data analysis and present results within the team
• Maintain thorough documentation and contribute to general lab organization, safety, and inventory management

Must-Haves:
 

• MSc or BSc in Life Sciences (e.g., molecular biology, pharmacology, immunology,coagulation) with at least 2-3 years hands-on animal study experience (PhD graduates are considered overqualified)
• Or, completed an apprenticeship as Research Associate (“Lehrabschluss”) with at least 4-5 years of academic or industry experience.

• Ability to independently execute and manage in vivo studies from start to finish
• Fluency in English

Nice-to-haves:
 

• Experience with animal surgery
• Knowledge or experience in coagulation and/or gene therapy
• Hands-on experience with molecular and biochemical assays (e.g., ELISA, thrombin generation, chromogenic assays)
• Prior industry experience
