Scientist/Sr. Scientist in RNA biology

We seek an individual with a Ph.D. and/or post-doctoral experience working with ncRNA biogenesis and regulatory pathways for target validation, assay development, and mechanism of action studies.

Responsibilities

  • Design, conduct, and interpret studies to validate new targets in the miRNA/ncRNA space, using cell biology and biochemical methods.

  • Design, conduct, and interpret studies to determine the cellular mechanism of action of small-molecule modulators of miRNA/ncRNA biogenesis pathways.

  • Develop cell-based assays to identify/characterize for the small molecules that modulate miRNA/ncRNA biogenesis pathways.

Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in biology, biochemistry, or related field, with five years of experience in cancer biology, with an emphasis on miRNA/ncRNA regulatory and biogenesis pathways.

  • Track record of high performance in the field of miRNA/ncRNA as demonstrated by high-impact publications and presentations.

  • Extensive experience in mammalian cell culture, generation of stable clones, and development of and use of cell-based assay methods including luciferase reporter assays.

  • Adept at biochemical analysis of miRNA/ncRNA biogenesis pathways and regulatory mechanisms using gel based-systems.

  • Experience with molecular biology techniques (cloning, qPCR, etc.) and methods to interrogate gene function (CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, siRNA transfection, over-expression systems, etc.)

  • Motivated, independent self-starter, willing to work in team environment on novel cancer therapeutics in a dynamic start-up setting.

Only Boston/Cambridge Metro Area residents will be considered for this position
