Job Details
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.
Job Summary
The Translational Biology group in the Department of Research seeks an innovative, industrious, experienced Senior Scientist to be responsible for establishing the organismal biology strategy for cross-functional project teams, creating and optimizing appropriate animal models, designing and carrying out in-life experiments (both hands-on and via contract research organizations), and analyzing, reporting, and presenting the data to various internal and external audiences. This Senior Scientist must be able to work effectively and productively with minimal supervision, but must also be a highly collaborative team player, capable of gracefully influencing people both above and below her/his level. This Senior Scientist will be expected to hire, supervise, and effectively deploy one or more in vivo laboratory personnel (RA – scientist range). Prior experience in animal modeling of musculoskeletal or hematological (non-cancer) diseases would be very valuable. Prior success in the preparation of scientific publications and preclinical sections of IND filings also a plus.
EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE
Minimum -
PhD in biological sciences with 5+ years of industrial experience in in vivo experimentation, or BS/BA/MS/MA with 15+ years of industrial experience in in vivo experimentation;
Persons without in vivo experience need not apply.

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.
