The role
You will run the bench work that moves a program forward — designing and executing experiments, generating clean data, and telling the team early when the data disagrees with the plan.
What you will do
- Execute cell-based and biochemical assays to support active discovery programs
- Design experiments with appropriate controls and analyse your own data
- Maintain accurate electronic lab notebook records that another scientist could repeat
- Present results at weekly team meetings, including the results that did not work
- Support assay development and transfer of established methods to other groups
What success looks like at 12 months
You independently own a workstream within a program, your data is used in decision documents without rework, and you have trained at least one colleague on a method you run.
What we require
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in a life science, or equivalent hands-on laboratory experience
- Practical experience with cell culture and standard molecular biology techniques
- Careful documentation habits and comfort with electronic lab notebooks
- Ability to work onsite in a laboratory environment
What we would like, but will teach you
- Experience in a drug discovery setting
- Familiarity with high-throughput screening
- Data analysis in Python, R or GraphPad
If you meet the required list, apply. We cap the preferred list at four items on purpose, and we would rather read an application from someone who is 70% there and hungry.
Onsite at Cambridge, MA. Site-based office roles are onsite three days a week; lab, plant and quality roles are onsite by nature.
