Scientist, CRISPR Screening & Target Identification Full-time

Scientist, Oncology & Immuno-Oncology Group

We are seeking a highly qualified scientist to join the Oncology & Immuno-Oncology group. The successful candidate will support the identification and validation of novel tumor drug targets using in vitro and in vivo approaches. The ideal applicant is motivated, organized, detail-oriented, and effective in a fast-paced, team-driven environment. Strong communication skills are essential. Experience with murine tumor models, mammalian cell culture, and molecular or cell-based assays is highly desirable. Familiarity with CRISPR screening is a plus.

A Typical Day as a Scientist, CRISPR May Include:

• Perform vivo tumor experiments in mice, including injection, blood and tissue collection
• Perform vitro cell culture and molecular biology experiments
• Analyze and document data, and communicate results clearly and concisely to supervisor and peers
• Organize and compile results into a finished format for presentation
• Maintain precise lab notebooks
• Daily lab maintenance (e.g., ordering reagents and supplies)

This role may be for you if:

• You enjoy working in a fast-paced environment
• You are a fast learner and have desire to expand your skill set and learn new techniques
• You are detail oriented, well-organized and can multi-task
• You are a team player
• You have strong communication skills

To be considered for this role, you must meet the following:

• BS or MS with at least 3 years work experience.
• Experience with mouse tumor models (e.g., subcutaneous implantation, drug dosing, measuring tumors and tumor harvest)
• Experience with mammalian cell culture
• Experience with basic molecular biology and biochemistry techniques (e.g., preparation of cell/tissue lysates for DNA/RNA protein analysis, western blots, transfection, PCR, and cloning)
• Experience designing FACS panels, performing multi-color FACS analysis preferred but not required
• Experience with CRISPR screens preferred but not required
• Strong organization and communication skills
• Strong ability to learn new techniques
• Ability to work well in a team
