Scientist, Oncology Research

Role: Collaborative Scientist within Gilead's Tumor Intrinsic Biology group, focusing on early discovery research of cancer cell regulatory mechanisms. Responsibilities: design and conduct experiments on protein-nucleic acid complexes involved in transcription, lineage control, and oncogenic signaling; develop biochemical, biophysical, and cellular approaches; generate mechanistic insights to support target identification and validation; collaborate across oncology biology, chemistry, structural biology, translational medicine, and computational sciences; communicate findings effectively. Requirements: Bachelor's degree with 5+ years, Master's with 3+ years, or Ph.D. with no minimum experience; strong expertise in protein and nucleic acid biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology; experience with macromolecular complex reconstitution, interaction assays (e.g., SPR, BLI, EMSA); knowledge of transcriptional regulation, RNA biology, chromatin, and cancer signaling. Preferred: extensive experience in protein-nucleic acid biochemistry, reconstitution from human cells, and working with transcriptional programs relevant to cancer. HighValue: focus on transcriptional regulation, lineage control, and oncogenic pathways; early discovery stage; multidisciplinary collaboration; emphasis on molecular mechanisms underlying tumor biology. WorkSetup: not specified; position likely based in research environment with collaborative, dynamic projects.
