| Job Description | Editas Medicine is a transformative genome editing company founded by five world leaders in the fields of genome editing, protein engineering, and molecular and structural biology, with specific expertise in CRISPR/Cas9 and TALENs technologies.
The company's mission is to translate its genome editing technology into a novel class of human therapeutics that enable precise and corrective molecular modification to treat the underlying cause of a broad range of diseases at the genetic level. The company has generated substantial patent filings and has access to intellectual property covering foundational genome editing technologies, as well as essential advancements and enablements that will uniquely allow the company to translate early findings into viable human therapeutic products.
Cell Biology Research Associate (Bachelor’s or Master’s Level)
We are seeking a highly motivated and innovative research associate with cell culture expertise to support the development of gene editing based cell therapies. The successful candidate will contribute as part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary discovery team dedicated to the development of a novel class of therapeutics. The successful candidate is expected to have proven practical experience in mammalian cell culture with a preference given to expertise in the manipulation and phenotypic characterization of hematopoietic stem cells and/or T cells. Demonstrated experience in viral and non-viral delivery systems, genome editing, molecular biology, multi-color flow cytometry (FACS), and colony forming assays is highly desirable. The candidate should be a scientifically motivated self-starter, capable of independently conceiving, conducting, and critically analyzing his/her own innovative research with minimal supervision. Strong presentation skills, communication and the ability to work in a fast-paced and team-oriented environment will also be vital.
Minimum Qualifications:
• BS/BA/MS in a relevant field (molecular biology, virology, biotechnology, immunology, stem cell biology).
• 3 years of relevant research experience.
• Experience in vector design and expression systems, genome editing techniques, FACS analysis and advanced molecular biology.
• Expertise in lentiviral approaches and primary cell culture systems highly desirable.
• Independent and self-motivated.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills. |
