define MatLab cell array and call function in Linux command line?

In a shell script that I have written for Mac terminal I want to be able to define two cell arrays, subjID and timepoint, and then run a function that takes these two cell arrays as input. In the MatLab GUI, if I type these as three separate lines then it runs fine:

subjID = {'1261'};
timepoint = {'00','01'};
function batchDothejob_NASA02(subjID, timepoint)

However, I am struggling to find syntax examples of how I could format this in my shell script. I have tried a few variations of this so far, but cannot get it to run properly:

matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r "subjID={'1062'}; timepoint={'00','01'}; 'dojobtest03(subjID,timepoint)'"
