Scientist: Gene Editing Technology
role at
Basecamp Research
We are unlocking the potential of our planet’s unexplored biodiversity to build sustainable solutions with our biotechnology partners whilst demonstrating the value of our world’s undiscovered biology.
At Basecamp Research, we pride ourselves on being a diverse, exciting, fun, and flexible place to work. We are a team of biologists, data scientists & explorers united by a sense of adventure and the belief that nature has already designed the solutions to our planet’s greatest challenges — we just have to go out and discover them!
If you feel passionate about the power of biology to show the inherent value of nature and to build a better world, we’d love to hear from you.
About the job We are looking for a Scientist level candidate to contribute to our Gene Editing Technology activities. This role will primarily encompass lab work, and the ideal candidate will have experience across a wide range of gene editing technologies and is able to independently design, execute, and analyze experiments. This candidate will be comfortable independently driving projects and work cross‑functionally to achieve company goals.
Key Responsibilities
Design, execute, and analyze complex experiments independently.
Present their findings to internal stakeholders in a clear fashion.
Work collaboratively with other team members to accomplish shared goals.
Aid in managing day‑to‑day lab activities/ordering.
Keep a well organised, up‑to‑date ELN.
This is a fully on‑site role and requires in‑office/lab work 5 days per week in Cambridge, Boston.
About you Required Qualifications:
PhD (or MS degree + 5 years) in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or related field.
Expert with standard molecular biology techniques (ddPCR, NGS, molecular cloning, automation, high‑throughput screening etc).
Mammalian cell culture, including primary human cells.
Prior experience with gene editing tool development and associated delivery systems is required.
Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated experience in building and screening protein engineering libraries, including site‑saturation mutagenesis, directed evolution, DNA shuffling, and AI‑driven protein design approaches.
Excellent organisational and priority‑management skills.
Strong communication and relationship‑building abilities.
What we can offer
The opportunity to be a key member in an exciting, dynamic, and fast‑moving field.
A fun, flexible, and supportive work environment and an emphasis on collaboration and personal development.
A highly collaborative culture, working cross‑team and cross‑functionally with engineers, data scientists, and biologists directly together to tackle complex issues.
Competitive compensation including equity.
Comprehensive medical cover with Cigna.
Life Insurance.
401K Plan.
Generous PTO.
Enhanced parental policy.
