Job description
Employment Type: Contract – 1 Year
Status: Accepting Candidates
About the Role
Support the development and preclinical evaluation of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) systems for nucleic acid delivery. This laboratory-based role focuses on LNP formulation, characterization, stability, and in vitro evaluation.
Key Responsibilities
Formulate and characterize nucleic acid-loaded LNPs at small to mid-scale using microfluidics, with emphasis on reproducibility, scalability, and product quality.
Conduct LNP stability studies and evaluate critical formulation parameters to support formulation optimization.
Support ligand conjugation and advanced analytical characterization of targeted LNP systems.
Perform mammalian cell culture and in vitro assays, including potency, uptake, and viability assessments.
Plan, execute, document, analyze, and communicate experimental results through reports, presentations, and team discussions.
Qualifications
Master’s degree with approximately 3 years of relevant experience, or PhD with 1–3 years of relevant experience, in pharmaceutical sciences, chemical engineering, bioengineering, molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related field.
Hands-on experience with LNP formulation and characterization, including small- to mid-scale microfluidic formulation.
Experience with analytical techniques such as dynamic light scattering, fluorescence-based nucleic acid assays, chromatography, or related methods.
Hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture and cell-based in vitro assays.
Strong experimental documentation, data analysis, scientific communication, and ability to work independently within laboratory procedures and SOPs.
Compensation:
$39/hr. on w2
Final compensation within the posted range will depend on qualifications, experience, and interview results.
