We are partnering with a venture-backed biotechnology company in London, building a discovery platform grounded in deep immunology. This role sits at the heart of target identification and biological validation, with a strong focus on T-cell-driven immune pathways and inflammatory disease.


You will join a small, highly technical team where primary biology informs platform strategy, portfolio decisions and the creation of new therapeutic programmes.


What you will be doing

  • Driving target discovery efforts centred on T-cell biology and adaptive immune dysfunction
  • Designing and executing mechanistic studies to validate novel immune targets and pathways
  • Building and refining cellular and functional assays to interrogate immune activation, differentiation and signalling
  • Applying advanced immunology techniques, including flow cytometry, cytokine profiling and cell-based readouts
  • Integrating experimental data with external datasets and literature to strengthen target hypotheses
  • Contributing to go or no-go decisions at the earliest stages of programme development
  • Working closely with leadership and platform scientists to shape scientific direction and pipeline strategy
  • Presenting data and biological rationale clearly for internal decision-making and investor-level discussions


What we are looking for

  • PhD or equivalent experience in immunology or a closely related field
  • Deep expertise in T-cell biology and inflammatory immune pathways
  • Strong background in target discovery, early validation or mechanism-driven research
  • Hands-on experience with cellular immunology assays and functional immune models
  • Ability to think strategically about biology beyond individual experiments
  • Comfortable operating in an early-stage, VC-backed environment with high scientific accountability


Why this role

This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of discovery science and company creation. You will have direct influence on how targets are selected, how programmes are built and how a platform evolves from first principles.

If you are motivated by ownership, scientific depth and long-term impact, this role offers exactly that.

How Many Biotechnology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Biotech Job?

If you are trying to break into biotechnology or progress your career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know is endless. One job advert asks for PCR, another mentions cell culture, another lists bioinformatics pipelines, automation platforms or GMP systems. LinkedIn makes it worse, with people sharing long skills lists that make you wonder if you are already behind. Here is the reality most biotech employers will not say out loud: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand biological systems, can work accurately and safely, follow protocols, interpret results and contribute reliably to a team. Tools matter, but only when they support those outcomes. So how many biotechnology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer depends on the role you are targeting, but for most job seekers it is far fewer than you think. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Biotechnology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers in biotechnology do not start by reading your CV word for word. They scan for credibility, relevance and risk. In a regulated, evidence-driven sector like biotech, the first question is simple: is this person safe, competent and genuinely capable of contributing in this environment? Whether you are applying for roles in research, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, clinical, bioinformatics or commercial biotech, the strongest applications make the right signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This in-depth guide explains exactly what hiring managers in UK biotechnology look for first, how they assess CVs, cover letters and portfolios, and why capable candidates are often rejected. Use it as a practical checklist before you apply.
