At Inceptive, you will drive development forward that could help billions of people. To accomplish this, you will be part of a collaborative, antedisciplinary team building our biological software.

We design RNA molecules using a combination of deep learning and wet lab experimentation. Deep learning models make use of large quantities of “training” examples, i.e. measurements of the desired or similar properties on a diverse set of RNA constructs. To achieve this, as part of Development, you will be responsible for building multiplexed high-throughput assays for measuring various properties of RNA in order to scale data collection beyond the linear increases of typical arrayed experimentation. Finally, you will be responsible for maintaining detailed notes and developing standard operating procedures while ensuring high-quality data acquisition.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it

• Develop and implement high-throughput, multiplexed assays to measure RNA performance in arrayed formats
• Embody our vision of an antedisciplinary environment and embrace learning outside of your traditional area of expertise
• Collaborate with team members from diverse backgrounds to build innovative and scalable experiments to solve complex problems that span biology and computation

Qualifications

• M.Sc. with 2 years of industry experience in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, or related fields
• Demonstrated experience building and optimizing arrayed high-throughput assays in mammalian cells
• Problem-solver who is equally excited by finding creative solutions to complex problems as you are by executing on them
• Ability to communicate technical and scientific concepts to team members from a broad variety of backgrounds
• Availability to accommodate working with team members across different time zones, with one or two meetings per week starting at 8am PT or finishing at 7pm CET
• Readiness to travel several times a year for company retreats and business events
• We value the benefits of in-person collaboration and prefer candidates who can easily and regularly connect at one of our office locations

Preferred technical skills

• Solid foundation in molecular and cellular biology (RNA biology is a plus)
• Experience in high-throughput screening in 96-, 384-, or 1536-well assays
• Experience with liquid handlers, automated plate washers, dispensers, or other automated lab systems
• Experience in mammalian tissue culture (immortalized and primary cells) and associated methods (e.g. transfections, cell-line engineering, plate readers. microscopy)
• Familiarity with any of Python, R, Bash/Shell, Javascript, or SQL are a plus
