The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a highly regarded national voluntary health services agency, is seeking a research associate for its growing R&D laboratory in the greater Boston area. The focus of the laboratory is on assay development and early discovery of small molecules that can modulate expression and function of mutant CFTR protein, which may lead to new treatments for Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
The (Senior) Research Associate is expected to make critical contributions to the electrophysiological assay/screening group. CFFT Lab projects include state-of-the-art automation and encompass screening of chemical libraries using multiple formats and readouts from biochemical, biophysical, and cell-based assays (fluorescence, luminescence, label-free, etc.). Primary job duties include: Mammalian cell culture, execution of low to medium throughput screening (incl. the use of robotic liquid handlers), data processing, QC and analysis. He or she will be responsible for operational excellence and data quality. The candidate will join a small group of highly motivated scientists that are working on next generation approaches for CF therapeutics.
-
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in life sciences and 0-5 years of R&D experience
-
Hands-on experience with mammalian cell cultures
-
In depth and hands-on experience with automated liquid handlers (strongly desired)
-
Track record delivering data of high quality and reproducibility
-
Detail-oriented scientist capable of multi-tasking in a small dynamic team.
