Senior Associate Scientist, Biology

Role: Senior Associate Scientist in Alnylam's Research Department focused on target discovery and validation for RNAi therapeutics. Primary responsibilities include designing and executing in vitro cell-based assays, conducting molecular biology techniques (RNA/DNA/protein analysis), and performing in vivo rodent studies to evaluate therapeutic targets. The role supports the progression from target ideation to drug discovery, contributing data for candidate nomination. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree with 5+ years or Master's with 3+ years of relevant lab experience, proficiency in molecular biology and mammalian cell culture, and hands-on experience with high-throughput assays (96- and 384-well formats). Industry experience is preferred but not essential. High-value specifics encompass expertise in RNAi therapeutic development, working within early-stage discovery phases, and familiarity with in vivo rodent models. The position is lab-based and on-site in Cambridge, MA, with an emphasis on collaborative, cross-functional teamwork. The role offers a salary range of $80,000-$120,000, with benefits supporting health and well-being.
