About Pan Cancer T

Pan Cancer T is a next generation TCR-T cell therapy company founded as a spinout from Erasmus MC. Our mission is to empower a patient’s own immune cells to tackle hard-to-treat cancers, especially solid tumours. Our lead TCR-T program for triple-negative breast cancer is progressing toward a first-in-human clinical trial, making this an exciting moment to join our team as we prepare for the next phase of development.

About the Role

As a Laboratory Research Technician, you will support the mission-critical daily research activities that keep our TCR-T cell programs moving forward.

This position has a strong operational focus, combining routine laboratory, organisational, and manual tasks with experimental support. It is ideal for an experienced technician who enjoys hands-on bench work, organisational tasks, and supporting cancer immunotherapy development in a dynamic biotech environment.

About Your Tasks and Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

• Prepare media, buffers, and reagents following established protocols
• Manage stocks of consumables and ensure laboratory spaces remain organised
• Receive, unpack, and organise deliveries and incoming materials
• Maintain and calibrate laboratory equipment
• Replace CO2 tanks and refill liquid nitrogen storage dewar
• Support general laboratory operations
• Perform cell culture (tumour and immune cells) and immunology assays including flow cytometry, qPCR, and ELISA
• Accurately document experimental procedures, results, and deviations in the electronic lab notebook (ELN)

As you grow in the role, you may have opportunities to expand into additional techniques and contribute more independently to experimental planning and execution.

About Your Skills and Experience

We are looking for someone with:

• MBO level 4 or HBO degree in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Biology, or a related field
• Approximately 2–3 years of hands-on laboratory experience, ideally including cell culture and flow cytometry
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow SOPs
• Flexible mindset and willingness to take on essential operational and manual tasks
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a team
• Motivation, professionalism, and interest in contributing to science with clinical relevance
• Proficiency in English is required (Dutch is a plus), as is eligibility to work in the EU

What We Offer

Joining Pan Cancer T means becoming part of a mission-driven organisation during an important development phase. You can expect:

• A collaborative, highly motivated scientific team
• A supportive, growth-oriented work environment
• Opportunities to deepen technical skills in cell culture, immunology, and T cell technologies
• Exposure to programs progressing toward first-in-human clinical trials
• Market-aligned compensation based on experience
