Scientist/Senior Scientist - Cystic Fibrosis Discovery And Development

Full-time | Onsite, Cambridge, MA | Apply: [email protected]

The Scientist has a proven track record of research projects and publications that demonstrate the use of stem cell and epithelial cell models to research the underlying causes of disease. The Scientist is adaptable and multidimensional with a solid command of knowledge in the fields of mucosal biology and lung diseases. The Scientist will directly execute experiments and oversee the work of a small group that is focused on generating crucial scientific data to validate cystic fibrosis disease targets for subsequent therapeutic discovery and development. The Scientist’s responsibilities include training and setting the scientific tasks for personnel and optimizing synergy within the group.

• Provide guidance to team members on scientific progress, set goals for team that directly support the research objectives, develop the skills of team members
• The scientist will report directly to, and work closely with, the C-suite
• Continually improve experimental workflows and documentation
• Inspire team members, provide feedback to group members and management team
• Execute lab protocols including physiology/electrophysiology, stem cell differentiation and mammalian cell culture, CRISPR, molecular biology

• Lab experience includes many of the techniques and tools listed above
• Organized and effective at managing tasks
• An experienced mentor who successfully fosters confidence and team commitment
• Advanced knowledge of mucosal biology, lung diseases, cell/stem cell platforms

• Preferred: 1-5 years of industry experience
• You have earned a PhD (or equivalent degree) in cellular biology, molecular biology, developmental biology, biochemistry, or a related discipline
• 2+ years of relevant postdoctoral employment experience

TenSixty Bio is a venture-backed emerging biotech company at the frontiers of biology, computation, and drug development. The three founders completed their PhDs and Postdocs at Harvard, Stanford, and the Broad Institute in leading biology and genomics labs where they developed single cell genomics technology and used the technology to discover the roles of specialized cell types in health and disease.

Our target identification platform focuses on identifying and studying specialized cell types to create entirely new avenues to understand and treat diseases. Our therapeutics platform is built on novel discovery models and a proprietary drug screening approach to transform our targets into life-saving therapeutics for major diseases and cancers.

TenSixty Bio actively seeks a diverse applicant pool in order to build the strongest possible workforce. We are an equal opportunity company and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We are a tight-knit team dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment for everyone. Our experimental team is located in the heart of the leading biotechnology hub Kendall Square in MIT’s new cutting-edge lab space, The Engine at 750 Main St. This location gives us access to the broader network and resources of leading biotechnology firms and institutions that include Harvard, MIT, Whitehead, and Broad Institute.

• Impact: We drive towards our ambitious goals with grit and determination.
• Respect: We treat everyone with dignity and professionalism.
• Teamwork: We work as a team and look out for each other.
