Aletira Therapeutics
We are hiring!
Role: Scientist I
Aletira
is an emerging biotechnology company founded on technology developed at
Johns Hopkins University
and supported by
Blackbird Laboratories . Our mission is to deliver life-changing gene therapies to patients with the greatest unmet medical needs.
We are harnessing the power of alternative splicing and the latest innovations in gene therapy platform design to develop transformative therapeutic candidates. To advance these efforts, we are seeking highly motivated scientists with expertise in molecular biology or related disciplines. In this role, you will help expand our laboratory capabilities by designing and screening novel gene therapy constructs in vitro and in vivo, working both internally and in collaboration with leading contract research laboratories.
About the position
The
Scientist I
will work on-site at our premises in Baltimore. You will report to the Chief Scientific Officer and work closely with our technical team in designing and executing high-throughput screening assays that permit the down-selection of gene therapy candidates. You will work alongside bioinformaticians to design gene therapy constructs and plan screening assays using a variety of detection methods. Additionally, you will conduct a variety of molecular assays involving DNA, RNA, and protein detection and quantification.
Key responsibilities:
High-throughput screening: Design, plan, and execute screening experiments using in vitro cell cultures with fluorescence-based readouts in 96-well format. Cell and molecular assays: Conduct a variety of molecular biology assays to assess transgene RNA expression and protein production (e.g., ELISA and flow cytometry). Next-generation sequencing: Prepare and analyze NGS libraries for single-cell RNAseq. Collaboration: Work closely with bioinformaticians, contractors, and University collaborators to design constructs and plan their assessment in model systems.
Qualifications:
A Ph.D. in molecular biology, bioengineering, or related fields. Experience with high-throughput screening, fluorescence detection methods, RNA and protein assays (ELISA, flow cytometry preferred) and NGS library preparation. Strong background in cell culture, transfection, and molecular biology techniques. Self-starting team player with a drive to advance next-generation biotechnology. Experience working in a biotech setting, with knowledge of gene therapy or molecular diagnostics is preferred.
Why Aletira?
We are a growing biotech company with a vision to revolutionize gene therapy. You will be joining a team of industry veterans that values creativity, initiative, and collaboration with huge growth potential.
Compensation
Compensation will be commensurate with industry standards and will include a competitive salary, stock options, healthcare benefits and paid time off.
Application procedure and timeline:
Applicants should
apply through LinkedIn
and
also submit a cover letter and CV
to . Please use your cover letter to highlight prior molecular biology laboratory experience. Interviews will occur on a rolling basis and employment can begin as soon as possible.
