• Experience with molecular cloning, next-generation sequencing, and associated molecular biology methods
• Experience with in vitro and in vivo transgenic delivery methods for mammalian cells (at least one of: lentivirus, AAV, AdV, transposition systems, lipid nanoparticles, or similar)

Nice to have

• Experience with epigenetic reprogramming methods using transcription factors for cell fate engineering or CRISPR-Cas tools for targeted epigenetic editing
• Experience working with primary cells and tissue samples
• Experience with single cell genomics methods
• Python programming and Unix workflow management skills
• Treatment development experience

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid parental leave
• Industry-leading paid time off (PTO) — 20 days/year for all employees + holidays
