Scientist – Erythroid Biology

Role: Scientist specializing in Erythroid Biology at Amgen, focusing on designing and conducting experiments to support siRNA therapeutics development. Responsibilities include developing in vitro/ex vivo assays, establishing human primary cell systems, supporting target validation and mechanism-of-action studies, and collaborating across experimental and translational teams. Key contributions involve flow cytometry, qPCR, and RNA-based readouts to support IND-enabling studies. Requirements: Doctorate or Master’s with relevant scientific experience; proficiency in cell-based assays, flow cytometry, gene expression analyses, and familiarity with RNA therapeutics and erythroid biology. Preferred skills include experience with hematopoiesis, gene editing, and conjugated delivery systems. The role supports early to late-stage preclinical development within oncology, inflammation, or rare diseases, emphasizing innovation in biologics and RNA modalities. Cross-functional collaboration with chemistry, delivery, and biomarker teams is essential. The position is based in the U.S., with flexible work arrangements and potential travel. It offers comprehensive benefits and professional growth opportunities.
