Job Details

BioMarin is the world leader in delivering therapeutics that provide meaningful advances to patients who live with serious and life-threatening rare genetic diseases. We target diseases that lack effective therapies and affect relatively small numbers of patients, many of whom are children. These conditions are often inherited, difficult to diagnose, progressively debilitating and have few, if any, treatment options. BioMarin will continue to focus on advancing therapies that are the first or best of their kind.

BioMarin’s Research & Development group is responsible for everything from research and discovery to post-market clinical development. Research & Development involves all bench and clinical research and the associated groups that support those endeavors. Our teams work on developing first-in-class and best-in-class therapeutics that provide meaningful advances to patients who live with rare diseases. Come join our team and make a meaningful impact on patients’ lives.

Overview:

Full Time Research Associate1/2 position to join a collaborative team performing comprehensive in vivo model development for cardiac disease. Position will report to team scientist.  Responsibilities include performing mouse health checks, colony maintenance and organization, in vivo dosing (ip,iv,sc, po), in- life blood collection via several routes, tissue perfusion & necropsy collection,  and assisting with in vivo and ex vivo cardiovascular protocols. Position would also help to coordinate, organize and prepare for in vivo studies. The ideal candidate has a desire to grow into and beyond this role by advancing their skillset to perform cardiac procedures independently.

Experience:

Bachelor’s Degree in Biology or closely related field is preferred. Mouse and/or rat handling skills are critical. At least 2 years of hands on experience in rodent maintenance and in vivo lab work is desired. Ability to recognize and adhere to IACUC standards of in vivo research is essential. The ability to work both independently and in a collaborative cross functional team to accomplish shared goals is crucial. Proficiency with Microsoft Excel for colony inventory and record keeping is critical. Experience with electronic laboratory notebooks is a plus. Candidates with experience or background in cardiac physiology or cardiovascular methods will be prioritized. Experience with Lab Chart software, and statistical software (eg. Prism or Sigma Stat) is desired but can be taught.

Research Associate 1:

Bachelor’s degree and at least 2 years of relevant experience or minimal experience with Masters

Research Associate 2:

Bachelor’s degree and at least 4 years of experience; Master’s degree with at least 2 years of relevant experience

Full time onsite reporting to BioMarin’s in vivo lab space at the Buck Institute in Novato CA, but relocation to company owned, brand new vivarium in Petaluma CA  projected for mid-2022.

PLEASE NOTE: Absent a Medical or Religious reason that prohibits vaccinations, all our incoming employees must be vaccinated for COVID-19.

Company

BioMarin is a global biotechnology company dedicated to transforming lives through genetic discovery. In 1997, the company was founded to make a big difference in small patient populations, focusing on giving much-needed attention to the underserved communities of those with rare diseases. BioMarin sought to help patients whose voices could not always be heard and treat conditions that were not always in mainstream medical conversations. Throughout its history, BioMarin has worked tirelessly to make a difference by pursuing bold science. The company’s first approved therapy was inspired by a father who refused to accept there was no therapy for his son’s rare diagnosis. That relentless pursuit to change the course of his son’s future through the power of science is at the core of who BioMarin is today.

Through the company’s expertise in genetics and molecular biology, BioMarin has developed eight first or best-in-class targeted therapies that address the root cause of the conditions it seeks to treat, helping to better the lives of those struggling with rare genetic disease. The company’s purposeful and scientifically precise team of physicians and scientists has honed each treatment modality to seek transformative therapies.

Now, BioMarin seeks to make an even greater impact by applying the same science-driven, patient-forward approach that propelled the last 25 plus years of drug development to larger genetic disorders, as well as genetic subsets of more common conditions. Each drug candidate pursued is guided by a fundamental understanding of the genetics and underlying biology of the condition it will address. The company believes that applying its knowledge to make a transformative impact is not just a calling, but an obligation to those who will benefit most. The more innovative solutions developed, the more lives BioMarin can impact.
