Job Details

Our mission:

Developing curative genome editing treatments that can positively transform the lives of people living with severe and life-threatening diseases.

At Intellia, we are committed to solving the complex challenges of making CRISPR/Cas9-based medicines a reality for patients suffering from genetic diseases and to create novel engineered cell therapies for immuno-oncological and autoimmune diseases.

Summary:

Intellia is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Associate Scientist to join our team. The successful applicant will be able to solve technically challenging analytical development problems and apply his or her knowledge to the advancement of novel analytical tools to characterize formulations for the delivery of nucleic acids for both ex vivo and in vivo applications.

Responsibilities:
    • Design, implement, troubleshoot and modify experiments to develop and improve our analytical capabilities
    • Provide high quality, detailed analysis of material for in vitro and in vivo evaluations
    • Conduct experiments independently and in collaboration with colleagues to support project goals
    • Communicate findings with internal and external partners
    • Operate and maintain multiple laboratory instruments
    • Assist in maintaining general laboratory functionality, including lab equipment maintenance and the ordering and receiving of lab supplies


Qualifications:
    • BS in Life Sciences, Chemical or Biological Engineering with 5+ years of industry experience, or Masters with 3+ years of industry experience
    • Independent analytical thinker with demonstrated history of problem solving
    • Extensive experience with chromatography and other analytical techniques relevant for characterizing nanoparticle formulations (i.e., HPLC/UPLC, particle size, fluorescent assays, etc.)
    • Detail oriented with both data analysis and timelines
    • Collaborative across subject areas within the organization and with external partners
    • Preferably has prior experience with lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation and/or RNA therapeutics

What Intellia Stands For:

We push boundaries. We are focused on positively disrupting health care treatment of patients with genomic diseases. The values we live by and drivers we look for are:

- One is respect for individuals; our unique qualities and strengths; our own ways to understand, learn and improve. One is our single-minded determination to excel; to succeed together. One is you and us - trusting and counting on every single one of us.

- Explore because we seek new ways to tackle disease. Explore with unbounded minds...free from assumptions, open to ideas. Explore by staying curious, by pushing boundaries, overcoming obstacles. Explore means thinking of new ways.

- Disrupt by thinking courageously...and creating a better future. Disrupt by defying conformity; interrogating the status quo; questioning our momentum. Disrupt with challenging thoughts...with that breed of skepticism that shows you have better solutions.

- Deliver with your focus on the objective and your determination to complete the task. Deliver by advancing relentlessly and by maintaining high standards...even when nobody is watching. Deliver by staying accountable and pulling your weight. Deliver because patients are counting on us to make the promise reality. Get it done.

Company

Many of us pursuing work in the biotechnology industry are inspired by a loved one who is living with a disease or the loss of someone in our community. Rare genetic and oncological and immunological diseases not only affect the people living with often debilitating and life-threatening symptoms, but these disorders also significantly impact their families, friends and caregivers.
 
Our researchers work tirelessly to harness the genome editing technology CRISPR/Cas9 for human therapeutic use. Jennifer Doudna, an Intellia co-founder, and Emmanuelle Charpentier were awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their pioneering work in CRISPR. We at Intellia are humbled to have a hand in making what we believe to be medical history. As a leader in this space, we take this responsibility to patients seriously.
 
We are employing a modular genome editing platform to create diverse in vivo and ex vivo pipelines, spanning a range of therapeutic indications. Guided by this full-spectrum approach, we are committed to making CRISPR/Cas9-based medicines a reality for patients suffering from genetic diseases and to creating novel engineered cell therapies for various cancers and autoimmune diseases.
