The Viral Delivery Technologies group is seeking a highly motivated Senior Associate Scientist to support development of an antibody-retargeted adeno-associated virus (AAV) delivery platform. This role will support the design, characterization, and in vitro/in vivo validation of novel AAVs, further expanding the company’s gene therapy vector delivery portfolio.
As a Senior Associate Scientist within the Viral Delivery Technologies group, a typical day might include:
Design, execute, analyze, and troubleshoot in vitro experiments to characterize and validate antibody-retargeted viral vector designs, screening protocols, and performance.
Perform basic molecular biology and protein analysis techniques (e.g., cloning, SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, ELISA, DNA extraction, PCR, qPCR, protein chromatography).
Partner with the bioinformatics team to translate vector designs into screening platforms.
Execute rAAV production protocols and expand our understanding of AAV biology to inform novel vector optimizations.
Collaborate with cross-functional team members, collaborators in analytical groups, and core facilities across Research and Discovery.
Participate in team meetings and prepare regular updates and presentations for departmental forums.
This role may be a good fit if you:
Enjoy working in an innovation-driven, highly collaborative, fast-paced environment.

An M.S. in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, protein purification, and/or antibodies is preferred. Required experience includes mammalian cell culture; manipulation and purification of viruses and/or proteins; DNA isolation from tissues and cells; plasmid cloning; use of antibodies in various applications; and maintenance of accurate, up-to-date electronic lab records. Familiarity with key antibody properties, protein engineering, viral vector production, and relevant research software (e.g., Microsoft Office, GraphPad Prism, Benchling, MacVector) is desired. Level will be commensurate with experience.
