The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a highly regarded national voluntary health services agency, is seeking a junior Research Assistant/Associate for a newly established R&D laboratory in the greater Boston area. The focus of the laboratory is assay development and early discovery of small molecules that can modulate expression and function of mutant CFTR protein, which may lead to new treatments for Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
The candidate for this position will become a critical member of the biochemical assay/screening group. He or she will be involved in protein purification, biochemical assay development and screening. Mammalian tissue culture and contributions to cell-based assays may become part of the responsibilities. The candidate will join a small group of highly motivated scientists that work at the fore-front of CF research.
We are looking for a detail-oriented scientist capable of multitasking in a small dynamic team. Hands-on experience is desired in at least one of the following areas: HTS and automation, protein purification, protein-protein interaction, or biochemical assays. Skills in cell-based assays and mammalian cell culture will be considered a plus but are not required. He or she will be capable of working independently and in a team. The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor’s degree in biological sciences and 0-2 years of relevant experience in R&D.
