Scientist, Delivery Screening Technology, Horns Lab

Role: Scientist leading development of pooled screening platforms to study nanoparticle-mediated molecular delivery in mammalian cells, with the aim of engineering advanced delivery vehicles like virus-like particles. Responsibilities: design and validate molecular reporters for cargo delivery; construct and execute pooled libraries and screens; scale platforms for high-throughput discovery; analyze sequencing data; collaborate across labs on complementary technologies; document findings and mentor junior staff. Requirements: PhD in cell/molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, or bioengineering; 0-5 years post-PhD with hands-on experience in pooled screening, molecular assay development, mammalian cell culture, flow cytometry, and data analysis in Python or R. Preferred: experience in synthetic biology, protein engineering, virology, or drug delivery modalities such as nanomedicine, extracellular vesicles, or lipid nanoparticles. The role emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration within an innovative research environment at Arc Institute, with a focus on advancing cell biology and drug delivery technologies.
