Responsibilities

The DNA Nanotechnology Research Scientist will:

Conceive, design, synthesize, and characterize advanced DNA-based nanostructures, methods and models, utilizing mastery of standard principles, theories, and techniques to solve specific problems and create unique solutions within the field of DNA nanotechnology, including but not limited to the emerging fields of DNA structural nanotechnology;
Plan, direct, and execute cell culture assays testing the efficacy of DNA nanostructures designed to modulate specific cell functions. Data from these studies will be pivotal in support of animal studies conducted by collaborative investigators;
Perform hands-on laboratory experiments, including but not limited to, oligonucleotide modifications, purification and characterization methods (e.g., gel electrophoresis, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, light scattering, chemical synthesis, modification and purification using DNA/RNA object assembly protocols, synthetic oligonucleotides, DNA design related software, atomic force microscopy (AFM), image analysis, optical and fluorescence microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy);
Prepare samples of appropriate stoichiometry, assemble nanostructures using designed strands, and test them;
Review scientific literature to remain abreast of current scientific techniques and methods;
Evaluate data from experiments, develop and document procedures and protocols for conducting experiments, and develop and implement criteria that allows verification and replication of outcomes;
Assist with writing papers, proposals, and patent disclosures; deliver presentations as needed, and develop new product concepts;
Maintain the day-to-day functionality of the laboratory equipment and laboratory environment, ensuring compliance with Company policies and procedures, and regulatory accreditation standards; and

Use and maintenance of Good Laboratory Practices (cGLP) in a commercial environment;
Experience setting up and running routine molecular genetic assays involving handling, extracting, purifying, amplifying, hybridizing and analyzing DNA, peptide, RNA, and other chemical/biological samples;
Experience conducting assays in the execution of chemical, bio-molecular, and biological studies, e.g., PCR, column chromatography, and spectroscopy;
Knowledge of vaccine development;
Knowledge in cell biology and immunology and experience with in vitro assays, cell culture, HPLC, microscopy and related techniques and technology are highly desired;
Experience with atomic force microscopy (AFM), image analysis tools, ultracentrifugation, or nanoparticle tracking analysis;
Experience performing experiments involving cell culture, HPLC, microscopy, and chemical synthesis;
Experience with scientific programming and scripting in Python; and
Experience in a commercial laboratory with established QA/QC program.
