How you will Achieve More with Intellia:
We are looking to hire an Associate Scientist to the Genomics Innovation team As an Associate Scientist, you will apply established high throughput NGS methods to help support the characterization and quantitation of unintended off-target genome editing with CRISPR/Cas9. You will also develop and evaluate new next generation sequencing (NGS) methods to characterize off-target transgene insertions and address emerging research questions. You will work on various projects across different stages of therapeutic development. Additional responsibilities include:
Evaluate, develop, and conduct genome-wide off-target experiments to characterize guides for therapeutic development. Apply molecular biology techniques such as DNA purification, shearing, adapter ligation, PCR, NGS library purification and quantification. Work with other members of the team on development of creative design for new assays and implement testing and development of those assays in the lab Troubleshoot and optimize NGS and long-read assays in collaboration with colleagues. Generate cell material for evaluation of off-target methods with CROs or within the GxI team. Accurately document project and sample information, protocols, and experimental details through the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) Independently perform complex research assignments (with limited guidance from supervisor), analyze datasets, and present your findings in team meetings About you: We are looking for a candidate with a MS in Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or related field with 2-5 years of experience in an academic or industrial setting; or a BS with 5+ years of relevant lab work experience at a biotech/pharma company. Candidates must have enthusiasm to learn and grow and the ability to work as part of a cross-functional team. Candidates should have hands on experience with the following: sequencing methods (Sanger, Illumina NGS, PacBio, and/or Oxford nanopore), core molecular biology skills (e.g, DNA/RNA purification), cell culture or genome editing with CRISPR/Cas9. Meet your future team: The Genomic Innovation Team is a fun, energetic, and passionate group of individuals, who are focused on applications of genomics to advance research and innovation in gene editing. You will report directly to a Principal Scientist in the Genomics Innovation Team. This hiring manager develops and evaluates genomics methods for off-target characterization and supports genotoxicity documentation for Health Authority regulatory interactions. The breadth of exposure to cutting edge gene therapy development will provide the candidate with exposure to the full spectrum of CRISPR therapeutic development in vivo and in cell-based therapies engineered with CRISPR. The team is working fully onsite to execute NGS workflows in a wet-lab environment. Therefore, we require a candidate to be currently local to Cambridge MA, or open to relocating. While much of the day-to-day operations require wet-lab work, our team is focused on building not just technical expertise but fostering an environment for growth of young scientists interested in a career in therapeutic biotechnology. If you join our team, you can expect to join a hardworking and collaborative environment. We look forward to fostering your skills, learning from your experiences, and building a larger team that will make a difference in patient's lives. #LI-KO2 Covid-19 Vaccination Policy:All Intellia employees, regardless of work location, are expected to follow all applicable federal, state, and local public health regulations and guidelines, and are strongly encouraged to follow all public health recommendations, including being vaccinated for COVID-19.EEOC Statement: Intellia believes in a diverse environment, and is committed to equal employment opportunity for all its employees and qualified applicants.
