Overview:
Join a growing U.S. biotechnology organization specializing in RNA medicine manufacturing. In this hands-on, bench-based role, you will execute the wet-laboratory science for the program under the Head of RNA Bio-foundry, while providing specialist leadership in RNA purification and in developing the analytical release strategy that determines whether each batch can be released.
Responsibilities
• Execute the wet-laboratory science of the program at the bench, under the Head of RNA Bio-foundry
• Perform in-vitro transcription across four modalities, including capping, poly-A tailing, circularization chemistry, and guide RNA co-production
• Prepare DNA templates and conduct quality control from enzymatic cell-free synthesis and rolling-circle amplification processes
• Conduct in-process and release analytics: RNA integrity, capping efficiency, poly-A length, double-stranded RNA content, residual DNA, encapsulation efficiency, and particle characterization
• Handle modality-specific starting materials supplied by clinical and pharmaceutical partners, maintaining strict chain of custody
• Document the primary data behind the de-risking report, the nominal end-to-end run baseline, and the multi-modality demonstration datasets
Requirements
• PhD, or MS with five or more years, in molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related discipline
• At least five to eight years of hands-on RNA work: in-vitro transcription, capping, poly-A tailing, RNA purification, and RNA quality analytics
• Experience with LNP formulation and characterization, and with DNA template preparation
• Excellent current bench skills
• Strong material handling skills and understanding of low bioburden and sterile operations
