POSTED ON 3/3/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/29/2025

Position Title : Senior Scientist to Director Level - ML Protein Design (Cell Therapy Focus)

Location : Boston, MA

About Us :

A cutting-edge biotech company operating in stealth mode and focused on revolutionizing CAR-T cell therapies for solid tumors. By leveraging machine learning (ML) workflows and advanced gene-editing technologies, we aim to tackle some of the biggest challenges in immuno-oncology. Join us at the forefront of science, where innovation meets impact, as we develop next-generation therapies to transform patient outcomes.

Role Overview :

We are seeking a highly motivated Ph.D.-level Senior Scientist (flexible to Director) with a mixed wet and dry lab background to join our dynamic and collaborative team. The successful candidate will be pivotal in designing and optimizing CAR-T cell therapies using an interdisciplinary approach that integrates computational and experimental techniques. This role is ideal for a scientist passionate about cell therapies, with experience in ML workflows, gene-editing systems, and immunology.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Design and Optimization : Develop and implement strategies to improve CAR-T cell efficacy, persistence, and safety in solid tumors, utilizing gene-editing technologies (e.g., CRISPR / Cas9, base editing, or similar).
  • Machine Learning Integration : Collaborate with computational scientists to incorporate ML workflows in analyzing datasets and optimizing gene-editing targets for CAR-T cells.
  • Wet Lab Contributions : Perform hands-on experiments, including T-cell culture, functional assays (cytotoxicity, cytokine secretion), flow cytometry, and genomic assays.
  • Data Analysis : Analyze multi-dimensional datasets (e.g., transcriptomics, proteomics, single-cell data) to identify potential pathways and targets for enhancing CAR-T cell therapies.
  • Innovation & Problem-Solving : Drive creative solutions to overcome immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments and antigen heterogeneity in solid tumors.
  • Collaboration : Work cross-functionally with immunologists, computational biologists, and synthetic biologists to advance research projects.
  • Scientific Communication : Present findings and contribute to internal publications, patents, and conferences.

Qualifications :

  • Education : Ph.D. in Immunology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Computational Biology, or a related field.
  • Experience :
  • 2 years of postdoctoral or industry experience in cell therapy, immuno-oncology, or related fields preferred.

  • Proven expertise in CAR-T cell engineering and / or gene-editing systems (e.g., CRISPR, TALEN, base editing).
  • Familiarity with machine learning techniques and their applications in biology is highly desirable.
  • Hands-on experience with T-cell assays, flow cytometry, and omics data analysis.
  • Technical Skills :
  • Strong knowledge of immunology, particularly T-cell biology and tumor immunology.

  • Proficiency in wet lab techniques, including T-cell culture and functional assays.
  • Competency with computational tools for data analysis (e.g., Python, R, or similar).
  • If your compensation planning software is too rigid to deploy winning incentive strategies, it’s time to find an adaptable solution. Compensation Planning
    Enhance your organization's compensation strategy with salary data sets that HR and team managers can use to pay your staff right. Surveys & Data Sets
