Research Associate III- PHCS
1910 E. Innovation Park Drive, Bldg 2 Tucson, AZ 85755 US
Job Description
Only 4 suppliers helping with these roles (very good odds to fill these!)
They have 9 openings at varying levels to fill for this round – don’t cross sub, candidates need to meet the minimum requirements for the role (but if they are a little stronger, they will consider them leveling up on the title fyi – I can usually tell when you submit if they will do this)
Ideally these are the numbers and levels they want to fill (they can level up and down a little too if needed)
- 3 RAI
- 3 RAII
- 3 RAIIIÂ
- - they have one RA II and 2 others in these groups - don't submit PhD's - they won't be considered.Â
- Assay transfer, - could be either level RA II or RA III. Will interface with a lot of groups in this role so good communication is a must. Prefer operations and manufacturing knowledge for this role. Any device experience or regulated is strongly preferred.
- Surveillance team – pH, conductivity, final exception testing is nice to have. Some tech writing and good communication – this team interfaces with ops and development, good organization. Reguated industry experience is super helpful – they are doing surveillance, making sure products on market are performing/doing what they are supposed to.
March 23rd will be the start date for these individuals so they can train all at once! When individuals join, they go through 3 week training.
- Interviews to be scheduled before March 6th; 25 min virtual panel (typically 3 people). Feel free to add interview availability in the summary for these days!
- Provide email address at the top of resumes! Please provide info if there is a gap in employment/relo
- Will reconfirm before interview that they are submitted to the correct level (are they qualified in terms of YOE).
- Professional experience starts AFTER graduation
- Please only submit candidates to 1 req – they will review and if they feel they are better suited for another req they will reach out
- Skills listed on the resume will be asked about! Please ensure they can speak to their experience
We can resubmit candidates that have iv’ed in the past (they may not have been selected then but if they weren’t rejected for cause, definitely submit them again)
We have direct contact with managers on these (this is huge and usually not allowed)
Include candidate contact info on the resume for these (this will speed up the process)
Candidates have to be able to make selected interview times - if they miss their spot, they don't usually rebook them (they are deciding on if these will be in person or virtual, tbd).
Hard start date listed – they have a 3 week training program so they have to be able to start this day (no exceptions/flex on this start date).
All roles fully onsite (8-5) in Tucson
When you get the invite – note the title – they may level up/down with the candidate after reviewing if they are a better fit for a different level (we will need to go over that level requested during the interview and rate to make sure they are ok with it).
Don’t cross submit to these roles – submit to the one they are strongest for (they will cross review).
Candidates should reach out to us regarding status after interview (please ask them not to contact the team directly – they want us to coordinate this).
- Conversions – not a guarantee but they can apply to FTE roles as they open, and there is a chance that they could convert.
- These hires support projects within assay development (these are not on the R&D side)
- Iv’s – candidates will meet with a SME or Technical lead – panel iv with 2-3 people, about 25 minute interviews. One interview for these roles (unless they may be a better fit for another group, in which case they may have a 2nd interview to meet with that team – this would be a one off situation)
All roles for the TPS group –Â
These will move but we have to get candidates in quickly – double check your Ventana pipeline, ok to resub anyone that is still available/interested that you submitted to previous roles!
Important: Start date for all roles, they have to be able to start on this day – if they can’t be available on this day, they can’t be considered.
Important: Interviews will be virtual – they have to be able to make these interview dates or they can’t be considered.Â
They want us to submit the candidate to the appropriate JD/level – don’t cross submit between these roles, all of the managers are looking at these candidates collectively and will consider them for the roles they think they are a fit for – just sub them to the one that you think is closest and they will take it from there.
Roles are open to support ongoing projects – this is a peak period for them. This is a very large business group supporting personalized healthcare solutions.
Experience is only considered post education (academic experience during school doesn’t count as experience per the requirements below). If they are completing a Masters (like at night) and working during the day in an industry job, this time would count.
Anyone who has worked in a regulated industry is good, familiarity with lab techniques, any experience in IHC, in situ, writing technical summaries and qualitative analysis are helpful for them, they do a lot of protocol analysis and writing. For soft skills – they look for good communication, prioritization, and ability to execute a task
They don’t do a lot of conversions in this group but they do have them apply to Roche openings as they come up (and sometimes they get these jobs).
Looking for familiarity with lab techniques, general safety knowledge, familiarity with defined procedures and practices is a huge plus for them and ability to make judgments. Prioritize and execute tasks once they are trained and communicate concerns in a timely manner. Wet lab experience is good for this one. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
HM - Valeria Cooper
Note, they are firm on degree and years of experience, if they don't meet the requirements, they can't be hired at this level but if they are a little light we may be able to get them considered for a lower title in the same group (like if they are a bit shy of the requirements but they need to be close at least).Â
**Ask if they have been submitted by other agencies - if we double sub them we lose the resume slot and I can't get more so we don't want to burn any resume slots if we can help it**
Pay: under $34/hr
