Job DescriptionJob DescriptionAbout Affini-T TherapeuticsAffini-T Therapeutics is an emerging biotechnology company focused on targeting oncogenic driver mutations with a “best-in-class” TCR therapy platform. Our innovative method of discovering high affinity TCRs specific to oncogenic driver mutations is used to develop therapies against malignant diseases. Through the application of gene editing and synthetic biology, we aim to enhance T-cell fitness to overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, with the goal of inducing long-term responses in patients with solid tumors.

Affini-T Therapeutics is announcing a Scientist II/Senior Scientist opportunity at our headquarters in Watertown, MA.

  • Excellent working knowledge of GMP and GLP requirements.
  • Must have a good understanding of Quality Systems and demonstrate proficiency in the application of QA principles, concepts, industry practices, and standards. Good conceptual, strategic, analytical, problem solving, and organizational skills.

  • Autonomous, take-charge, proven team player with a strong results orientation, positive “can do” attitude, and a sense of urgency to get things done.
  • High emotional intelligence, sound temperament and professional attitude.
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, and the ability to interface effectively with all levels of the organization. Strong communication skills with outside contract organizations are required.
