Molecular Biologist Scientist

Role Description-

Cellular therapeutics, such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) based T-cells, are demonstrating tremendous promise in oncology. This position will be part of this nascent group to help propel into this avenue of exciting research and address unmet medical needs.

Responsibilities-

• This scientist will be involved in establishing methodologies, i.e. culturing and activating primary T-cells, enriching T-cell populations, viral transductions and electroporation of primary cells, to generate CAR T-cells. 

• He/she will also be involved in managing daily lab operations to assist other scientists with adequate resources. 

• We seek a highly motivated and proactive individual able to work collaboratively in a team-based environment. 

• BS and 5+ years of experience or MS and 3+ years of experience in an academic and/or industrial setting. 

• Knowledge and experience of modern laboratory methodology in cellular and molecular biology. 

• Knowledge and hands-on experience in T-cell culture and in vitro assay development is desirable. 

• Knowledge and experience with viral based systems (lentivirus, adenovirus, or murine retrovirus) to optimize transduction of cell-lines and primary cells. 

• Knowledge and experience in genome engineering (zinc fingers, TALEN, or CRISPR) is preferred. 

• Excellent written, oral communication skills.

• 4-7 years of experience in Biochemical Techniques

• 4-7 years of experience in Cell/Tissue Culture Techniques
