Bulk and single cell RNA sequencing Microscopy (e.g., fluorescence, confocal, and brightfield imaging)Design and validate loss-of-function strategies (e.g., RNAi, CRISPR-Cas9) for gene perturbation in vitro and in vivo. Analyze and interpret data. Maintain thorough laboratory records that will withstand regulatory scrutiny. Prepare technical reports, presentations, and manuscripts that may eventually contribute to regulatory applications (e.g. IND) and peer reviewed publications. Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams, including scientific, translational, and commercialization partners. Job Requirement Ph.D. in Cell/Molecular Biology, Developmental Biology, Physiology, Genetics, or a related field. Demonstrated hands-on experience with mouse models, including compound dosing and tissue dissection, is required. Proficiency in primary cell isolation and culture, including from mouse or human tissues. Strong technical skills in histology, biochemistry, and microscopy-based tissue analysis. Solid foundation in molecular biology and genetics, including construct design, cloning, RNAi, and CRISPR. Familiarity with single-cell transcriptomics or related high-dimensional platforms is advantageous. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present scientific findings clearly and effectively. Proven ability to complete and communicate scientific projects, as evidenced by at least one peer-reviewed co-first authored publication. Highly organized, self-motivated, and capable of working independently and in cross-functional teams. Needs to be able to maintain detailed laboratory records to be used for potential regulatory filings. Comfortable working with tight timelines and on a milestone-gated project.
