Scientist, Functional Genomics

ICR is dedicated to solving some of the most challenging problems in aging and age-related disease. We're looking for talented scientists to join our Functional Genomics group. Tasked with going "from SNP to phenotype," our Functional Genomics scientists connect genomic variants with organismic-level symptoms through molecular, cellular, tissue and animal models.

With ICR, you'll get to:

• Research the potential functional impact of any given SNP on protein or cellular function: from RNA to protein to cell to systems-level analysis including work on known disease-associated SNPs and VUSs in the context of various human primary and iPSC-derived cell types


• Project manage outsourced work with CROs to maximize your productivity


• Collaborate with other ICR scientists and groups, including Translational Bioinformatics and Genomics, to solve complex human medical mysteries


• Identify potentially actionable targets for therapeutic development

Requirements

• PhD in Biomedical Sciences


• In-depth knowledge of and experience with modern molecular and cellular biology techniques, preferably experience doing functional genomics


• Experience with iPSCs and iPSC differentiation protocols preferred, but mammalian cell culture experience is a must


• Experience creating and validating stem cell-derived disease models


• Programming Experience (Python Preferred)


• The ability to work in the United States without sponsorship


• To have an easygoing, hard-working personality

Salary

• Starting base pay range: $135,000/yr - $175,000/yr


• Starting additional compensation range: $7,500/yr - $17,500/yr


• Starting position title and compensation are commensurate with experience.
