Senior Scientist, Cell Biology
A well-funded new start-up is looking for a highly creative and self-motivated Ph.D. cancer biologist to help discover a new generation of small molecule cancer therapeutics. The ideal candidate is an expert in using cutting-edge technologies to model disease and has experience in a drug discovery environment. The successful candidate will work as an independent contributing member of a diverse drug discovery team and will collaborate with senior leadership to influence project and company-level strategy.
Job Responsibilities:
Independently design, develop and execute cancer biology experiments to drive preclinical target biology.
Use modern tools to model disease, identify and validate drug targets, formulate responder population hypotheses, and identify resistance mechanisms.
Proactively review discovery research literature to contribute the newest scientific findings, ideas, and methods/technologies to the team.
Interpret, summarize and present research findings in internal and external scientific meetings/conferences.
Lead biology projects, actively participate in and partner with multidisciplinary drug discovery teams.
Required Qualifications and Experience:
Ph.D. in Cell and/or Molecular Biology or Genetics, plus 3+ years industry experience with high impact, peer reviewed publications and a proven track record of productivity and creativity.
Exceptional cell biology skills (including mammalian cell culture, flow cytometry, and microscopy), and expertise in cancer biology.
Capability to work within a dynamic matrix environment, with strong contribution to project strategies and progression.
Excellent communication, presentation, and inter-personal skills; superb organizational and problem-solving skills.
Leadership in technology development and implementation, and familiarity with various routine laboratory assay methodologies: CRISPR-guided gene editing; design and use of lentiviral vectors for gene delivery; siRNA, lentiviral shRNA, and CRISPR-mediated gene knockdown; phenotypic and mechanistic cell assay development; gene expression analysis; cellular immunostaining.
Experience with in vivo cancer modeling is a plus.
