Mirus Bio is expanding and has an immediate opening for a full-time R&D Scientist based in Madison, WI to help develop the next generation of transfection reagents, enhancers, and related products. This role will join the R&D Chemistry Team to perform hands-on polymer synthesis work for the next generation of transfection reagents, enhancers, and related products. This R&D Scientist position reports to the Director of Chemistry. Duties & Responsibilities
Independently design, execute, and analyze laboratory experiments that support the development and application of new and existing transfection technologies and products. Contribute and evaluate new product ideas/areas to determine technical feasibility and application. Synthesize and characterize novel compounds by performing organic and polymer chemistry reactions, sample preparation and routine analytical testing. Reactions may be performed under inert conditions using a Schlenk line and reflux. Skilled in performing and interpreting a variety of analytical techniques such as TLC, GPC, HPLC, NMR, FTIR, UV, DLS, MS, pH meter, etc. Knowledge and experience with purification and separation techniques such as extraction, distillation, precipitation, recrystallization, and chromatography of various compounds. Maintain a detailed laboratory notebook and tracking of synthesized materials in a timely manner. Follow Good Documentation Practices. Communicate effectively across multiple teams, such as Production, Quality, and Operations, to ensure alignment and eliminate barriers. Build positive relationships during internal and external interactions. Attend, present data, and participate in discussions at R&D group meetings. Participate in background presentations on a rotating basis. Perform other duties as assigned by the Director of Chemistry. Who You Are
Minimum Qualifications: Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry Experience synthesizing and characterizing polymers for biomedical applications such as nucleic acid or drug delivery Preferred Qualifications: At least 2 years designing, synthesizing, and characterizing polymers for delivering nucleic acids to cells Experience developing, performing, maintaining, and documenting synthetic and analytical techniques in an industrial setting under GxP guidelines Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary, team-oriented environment Ability to work in an organized manner, manage multiple priorities, make critical observations, and maintain records of results Proficiency with Microsoft Office including Excel, Word and PowerPoint Travel Requirements
