Senior Associate Scientist, Gene Delivery and Editing Process Development

Role: Senior Associate Scientist in Gene Delivery and Editing Process Development within Bristol Myers Squibb's Cell Therapy organization, focusing on viral vector (lentiviral and AAV) production for gene therapies. Responsibilities: perform experimental work on upstream (mammalian cell culture, bioreactors, transfection) and potentially downstream viral vector processes; support process development, characterization, tech transfer, and preclinical/clinical manufacturing activities; utilize DOE principles, maintain documentation, and communicate findings. Requirements: B.S. with 5+ years or M.S. with 2+ years of hands-on upstream process experience; knowledge of bioprocessing techniques, statistical software (e.g., JMP), and cell/gene therapy concepts; strong problem-solving and communication skills. Preferred: downstream process experience. High-value specifics: focus on early and late-stage viral vector manufacturing for cell therapies, supporting clinical development; role involves collaboration with internal/external teams; work located in Seattle, WA, with a focus on innovation and process optimization.
