Principal or Senior Scientist: Virology & Therapeutic Discovery
Autonomous Therapeutics, Inc., Rockville, MD, United States
About Us:
We're an RNA therapeutics company using a new class of RNA to develop disease-activated, precision medicines from influenza to colorectal cancers.
Imagine taking a drug (or chemotherapy) that only targets your diseased cells--with no off-target effects.
We're looking for out-of-the-box and passionate scientists to join our growing team of scientists and engineers in our 18,000 square facility in Rockville, Maryland.
About You:
You're a creative and rigorous biologist who wants to help develop next-generation therapeutics from viruses to cancers. This position would focus on the development of next-generation antivirals (but you would have the opportunity to contribute to work in oncology and immunology as well!).
You would join a growing team of Ph.D. trained scientists and report directly to the CSO and Head of R&D.
You should have a Ph.D. and expertise in ONE or more of the following areas:
- Virology: Expertise probing viral biology or developing novel antivirals, for example against respiratory viruses or herpesviruses.
- Nucleic Acid Biology: Expertise developing RNA or DNA medicines (in any field) or expertise probing/modulating fundamental processes of transcription or translation.
- Synthetic Biology: Expertise with methods for engineering novel DNA or RNA circuits.
- Gene Therapy or Delivery: Experience developing cutting-edge approaches to gene delivery from viral vectors to non-viral approaches (e.g. lipid nanoparticles).
- Cell Biology: Design and validation of cell-based assays to identify and screen novel therapeutic candidates.
Your area of specific expertise (from virology to immunology) is less important to us than your capabilities and passion for scientific discovery! We can also teach you cutting-edge robotics and AI. Our engineering team also designs state-of-the-art robotic systems to test the safety and efficacy of therapeutics in-house.
Benefits:
Our scientists & engineers receive competitive salaries and stock option packages. We also offer 401(k) plans with matching, comprehensive health and dental insurance, food and snacks, and, most importantly, a passionate and fun group of colleagues.
