Senior Staff Scientist, Single-Cell Biology & Transcriptomics
Who we are
Kojin Therapeutics, Inc. is harnessing groundbreaking discoveries in cell-state and ferroptosis biology to develop first-in-class treatments for use in patients with various forms of cancer, as well as cardiovascular, immunologic, hepatic, and degenerative diseases. Named after the Japanese deity that tamed fire for the good of humanity, Kojin is located in Boston's Seaport biotech neighborhood. We have developed a drug-discovery platform that integrates computational chemistry, structural biology, chemical biology, target-informed screening, and mechanism-driven pharmacology to develop small-molecule therapeutics that specifically modulate ferroptosis, a newly discovered form of programmed cell death. Kojin is backed by a strong syndicate of top-tier investors, led by an experienced biotechnology and pharmaceutical-industry leadership team, and driven by creative, dedicated professionals.
Who we are seeking to join our team
We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented scientist to establish our single-cell omics capabilities for the study of ferroptosis at Kojin Therapeutics. The ideal candidate will have a background in cellular biology, molecular biology, and bioinformatics, with a strong focus on single-cell techniques. This role will involve designing, executing, and analyzing single-cell experiments to understand cellular heterogeneity and its implications for ferroptotic cell death in cancer and immune and inflammatory diseases.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and clearly articulate key biological questions regarding cellular ferroptosis sensitivity and response, and design single-cell experiments to address them.
- Develop a strategic plan to adapt and implement various single-cell omics technologies for studying ferroptosis and build out required infrastructure (in-house or through CROs and collaborators).
- Develop and optimize protocols for single-cell isolation from various tissue samples.
- Perform (and/or work with CROs to perform) single-cell omics assays, such as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), ATAC-seq, and imaging-based spatial techniques.
- Analyze single-cell data using bioinformatics tools and software, including cell-type annotation, clustering, and differential expression analysis.
- Interpret complex datasets to derive meaningful biological insights and generate hypotheses for further study.
- Collaborate with computational biologists to develop custom analytic workflows.
- Work closely with researchers from other disciplines, including ferroptosis biology, pharmacology, and chemistry, to integrate single-cell data into broader research projects.
- Present findings at internal meetings, conferences, and in peer-reviewed publications.
- Maintain detailed and accurate records of experimental procedures and results.
- Mentor junior scientists and provide guidance on single-cell experimental design and data analysis.
Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Genomics, or a related field and post-doctoral fellowship.
- 5+ years of postdoctoral experience applying single-cell isolation techniques and various omics technologies.
- Proficiency in bioinformatics tools for single-cell analysis and programming languages such as R or Python.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with a track record of scientific publications.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience applying single-cell techniques in a drug-discovery setting.
- Experience in cancer biology and/or immunology, inflammation.
- Experience in ferroptosis and/or lipidomics is a plus.
- Hands-on experience with single-cell multi-omics approaches.
- Familiarity with laboratory automation and high-throughput screening is a definite plus.
