Integrated DNA Technologies
The Research Scientist III is responsible for conducting bench scientific experimentation that advances the basic science of nucleic acids and nucleic acid biochemistry and assists with development and characterization of new IDT functional genomics products. This position reports to the Director of CRISPR Product Development and is part of the
Gene Writing and Editing R&D Team at IDT
located in Coralville, IA and will be an on-site role. In this role, you will have the opportunity to:
Function as a scientist at the bench, under minimal supervision, executing projects related to the characterization and development of novel modalities for precise gene editing using cell-based, biochemical and analytical assays. Be part of a dynamic and innovative team to contribute your knowledge and technical skills to the growth of IDTs new Functional Genomics RUO product development pipeline, from performing early research to development of applications in therapeutically relevant cell models. Utilize your skillsets in mammalian cell culture and primary cells for development of new CRISPR / Functional Genomics products with improved functionality and specificity for biomedical research and translational CGT applications. Plan, analyze, summarize, and communicate experimental results to team members and assist in the preparation of technical reports for internal use and for filing invention disclosures. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to bring projects to a successful conclusion and assist with customer communication through attendance at scientific conferences and customer technical support. Essential requirements
Education:
Bachelors degree (in Biology, Genetics, Chemistry or a related life sciences field) with five or more years relevant lab experience required. Masters degree (in Biology, Genetics, Chemistry or a related life sciences field) with three or more years relevant lab experience preferred. PhD (in Biology, Genetics, Chemistry or a related life sciences field).
Demonstrated experience and technical background in CRISPR Gene Editing rooted in research, development, or applications. Demonstrated expertise in basic techniques in biochemistry, cell biology, genomics, or related field. Demonstrated competency in cell culture techniques, delivery of genome editing components to various cell types, and/or management of good laboratory practices in a tissue culture lab. Demonstrated abilities in project organization, critical thinking, and teamwork applied to experimental planning, data analysis and data presentations. Travel
Ability to travel up to 10% domestically or internationally Preferred qualifications
Analytical tools for cell line characterization such as next-generation or long-read sequencing, qPCR/dPCR, and flow cytometry.
