Scientist, Functional Genomics

About the Role

ICR is dedicated to solving some of the most challenging problems in aging and age-related disease. We're looking for talented scientists to join our Functional Genomics group. Tasked with going "from SNP to phenotype," our Functional Genomics scientists connect genomic variants with organismic-level symptoms through molecular, cellular, tissue and animal models.

Responsibilities

• Research the potential functional impact of any given SNP on protein or cellular function: from RNA to protein to cell to systems-level analysis including work on known disease-associated SNPs and VUSs in the context of various human primary and iPSC-derived cell types
• Project manage out-sourced work with CROs to maximize your productivity
• Collaborate with other ICR scientists and groups, including Translational Bioinformatics and Genomics, to solve complex human medical mysteries
• Identify potentially actionable targets for therapeutic development

Qualifications

• PhD in Biomedical Sciences
• In-depth knowledge of and experience with modern molecular and cellular biology techniques, preferably experience doing functional genomics
• Experience with iPSCs and iPSC differentiation protocols preferred, but mammalian cell culture experience is a must
• Experience creating and validating stem cell-derived disease models
• Programming experience (Python preferred)
• Ability to work in the United States without sponsorship
• An easygoing, hard-working personality

Even if you don't have all of these skills, please apply.

Pay

Starting base pay range: $135,000/yr - $175,000/yr. Starting additional compensation range: $7,500/yr - $17,500/yr. Starting position title and compensation are commensurate with experience.
