OPPORTUNITY
Mammoth is hiring an Associate Scientist I/Scientist I to contribute to R&D projects run within the Platform team. The Platform team develops next-generation CRISPR tools for therapeutic genome editing applications and is composed of technical staff with diverse strengths in bioinformatics, biochemistry, protein engineering and high-throughput screening. The successful candidate will work on CRISPR tool development projects during their early (proof-of-concept) and/or late (optimization) phases. This is a fantastic opportunity to impact human health by making CRISPR tools that cure genetic disease.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Plan, design and execute experiments for CRISPR tool development projects
- Design and produce DNA and RNA-based reagents for genome editing experiments in human cells
- Contribute creatively to seed innovation projects through literature review and shape execution tactics
- Document experiments in electronic laboratory notebooks
- Present experimental results at internal meetings
- Disclose inventions to the IP team for patenting
- Other duties as assigned
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- PhD in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biomolecular Engineering or a related discipline. For non-PhD candidates with a Bachelor's degree, a minimum of 5+ years of industry experience or MSc with 2+ years of industry experience is required (Scientist I)
- Bachelor's degree in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biomolecular Engineering or a related discipline, 4+ years of industry experience or MSc with 2+ years of industry experience (Associate Scientist)
- 2+ years hands-on experience in structure-guided or homology-guided rational/semi-rational design approaches for protein engineering
- 1+ years of hands-on experience designing and analyzing CRISPR gene editing experiments in mammalian cells
- 1+ years hands-on experience in three of the following areas:
- Plasmid design for bacterial and mammalian expression of recombinant proteins and RNAs
- Automated methods for high throughput molecular biology workflows
- Flow cytometry and/or fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay design and library preparation
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 1+ years experience developing novel CRISPR tools for gene editing
- 1+ years experience developing novel assays in human cells for high throughput tool evaluation
- 1+ years experience working with disease-relevant human cell lines and primary cells
- 1+ years experience developing and executing pooled lentiviral screens
- 1+ years experience with directed evolution
- Working proficiency with common bioinformatics tools (Benchling, JMP, SQL, R, Python)
BENEFITS
- Company-paid health/vision/dental benefits
- Unlimited vacation and generous sick time
- Company-sponsored meals and snacks
- Wellness, caregiver and ergonomics, mental health and education benefits
- 401(k) with company matching
Base Salary Range: $95,000 - $215,000
