Note:
ONSITE Thousand oaks Please submit candidates within commutable distance.

• The ideal candidate for this role should have a background in academic research or biopharma, with a strong preference for those with experience in early-stage drug discovery. A PhD is acceptable, though there is some concern about overqualification, so a master's degree with 1-2 years of experience or a bachelor's with 3-4 years would also be a good fit. The role involves extensive hands-on lab work, including tissue culture and aseptic techniques, so candidates with practical lab experience are highly valued. Key attributes include strong communication skills, teamwork, proactivity in seeking help, and the ability to present scientific work. Experience with protein degradation, cancer biology, or disease-related biology is a plus, and the ability to stay organized and document work is crucial.
• Candidates must be committed to the length of the contract and willing to take on multiple tasks in a dynamic, investigational lab environment.
• Extensive hands-on experience in mammalian cell culture, cell line maintenance, generation and characterization of stable cell lines is required. Strong background in molecular biology and cell-based assays; experience with molecular cloning, plasmid and siRNA transfection, gel electrophoresis and Western blot analysis.

Nice to Have: Understanding and experience in CRISPR-based editing systems. Experience working with lentiviral vectors and particles.
