The Opportunity:
As a key member of the Biology team, you will:
- Independently conduct key experiments to support RAS programs as well as new target identification and validation efforts.
- Apply various cellular, molecular, and genetic techniques to characterize and enhance our mechanistic understanding of novel anti-cancer agents.
- Maintain cultures of multiple human cancer cell lines to support experimental efforts.
- Contribute to developing, and perform various cell-based assays to interrogate effects of inhibitors on signaling pathways.
- Contribute to developing, and perform microplate-based quantitative assays using reagent kits.
- Analyze and interpret experimental data, formulate testable hypotheses and propose follow up experiments within project scope, and present results at internal meetings.
- Collaborate with team members to generate novel insights into key drivers of RAS-driven cancers.
- Bachelor’s degree or bachelor’s and master’s degree in Cell/Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biology, Genetics, or related field.
- 5+ years of experience in an industry position or academic lab involving cell/tissue culture and cell/molecular biology with a bachelor’s degree OR 3-5 years of experience with a master’s degree.
- Demonstrated proficiency with a wide range of cell and molecular biology techniques (e.g., cell line engineering, SDS-PAGE/Western blot, molecular cloning, DNA/RNA preparation, PCR, qPCR, etc.).
- Proficiency with cell/tissue culture, including the ability to maintain multiple human cancer cell lines simultaneously with excellent aseptic technique.
- Rigorous, detail-oriented, and quantitative experimentalist.
- Proven ability to proactively and independently problem solve with minimum guidance.
- Highly organized, with excellent record keeping and written/verbal communication skills.
- Demonstrated ability to multi-task, prioritize, and complete tasks efficiently to meet project deadlines.
- Innovative and adaptable team-player with an eagerness to learn new techniques.
Preferred Skills:
- Demonstrated proficiency with CellTiter-Glo, AlphaLISA, and MSD assay platforms.
- Experience using laboratory automation tools (e.g., robotic liquid handlers, cell seeders, etc.).
- Familiarity with data processing, curve fitting, and visualization tools to analyze small and large datasets (e.g., GraphPad Prism, Genedata Screener, D360, or Spotfire).
