The posting

Role Summary

We are seeking a highly collaborative, hands-on Senior Scientist I to help establish a preclinical neuroscience laboratory supporting small-molecule and protein therapeutics. The immediate priorities are rapid cellular profiling and lead selection for an advanced small-molecule enzyme program, and leadership of cellular development for a transferrin-based protein replacement project. The role will also build fit-for-purpose human neuronal models, laboratory workflows, and external partnerships.

Location

We welcome applications from candidates located across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Lead a rapid, tiered cellular assay strategy for small-molecule lead optimization, including target engagement, pharmacodynamics, concentration-response, duration, selectivity, neuronal phenotype, stress, and tolerability
  • Lead cellular development of a transferrin-based protein replacement project by establishing quantitative assays for construct uptake, internalization, intracellular trafficking, protein abundance and integrity, mitochondrial response, and disease-relevant phenotypic rescue
  • Use orthogonal methods to distinguish surface-bound, internalized, degraded, and functionally delivered protein; compare constructs and define advancement criteria
  • Establish fit-for-purpose neuronal culture models, including iPSC-derived neurons or glia where they add decision value, with appropriate banking and quality control
  • Define assay controls, acceptance criteria, reproducibility standards, analysis plans, SOPs, sample tracking, and electronic documentation
  • Translate data into concise recommendations to advance, modify, or discontinue assets
  • Partner across protein engineering, chemistry, bioanalysis, DMPK, pathology, computational biology, and in vivo pharmacology; scientifically manage CROs and assay transfers
  • Mentor junior scientists and build workflows that are reproducible across operators. Future scope may include ASO screening in partnership with external experts

Required Skills and Qualifications

  • PhD in pharmacology, neuroscience, molecular biology, chemical biology, cell biology, or a related discipline, plus 3 to 6 years of biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry experience
  • Demonstrated experience in cellular pharmacology, assay development, and iterative drug discovery or lead optimization
  • Hands-on experience with neuronal cell culture models, preferably human iPSC-derived neurons or glia
  • Expertise in concentration-response, time-course, target-engagement, pharmacodynamic, quantitative data-analysis, and troubleshooting studies
  • Concrete examples of scientific ownership in which an assay, platform, or data package influenced a program decision
  • Excellent communication skills and willingness to maintain a substantial hands-on laboratory presence

Preferred Skills and Qualifications

  • Enzyme biology, epigenetics, or transcriptional pharmacology; therapeutic proteins or targeted-delivery constructs; cellular uptake, trafficking, or protein quantification; mitochondrial functional assays; high-content imaging or neuronal functional assays; transferrin receptor biology, BBB transport, or biodistribution; laboratory start-up, assay transfer, or CRO management
  • Exposure to ASO screening or RNA pharmacology is beneficial

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
