GENERAL SUMMARY / OVERVIEW:

The Gene and Cell Therapy Institute (GCTI) is a newly created system-wide Institute under Mass General Brigham. The Institute will foster a world-class gene and cell therapy program that will leverage ongoing, groundbreaking scientific research efforts across the MGB system.

The mission of GCTI is to bring together the community of MGB investigators which can utilize gene and cell therapy platforms to achieve their scientific and clinical goals and improve the health of patients. The Institute will differentiate itself by harnessing the exceptional strengths of clinician scientists, the large and unique patient population, and major discoveries throughout the hospital system to propel MGB as the leader in Gene & Cell therapies.

The Abudayyeh-Gootenberg Gene Editing lab at the Mass General Brigham Gene and Cell Therapy Institute is seeking a highly organized and dynamic individual to serve as a manager and principal scientist for a new Gene Editing and Perturbation (GEP) core housed at the GCTI. This unique role provides an opportunity to be a part of a team contributing to the forefront of technology development in gene therapy, cell therapy, and aging research and supporting the entire MGB ecosystem's research and development in the gene editing and genomic perturbation space.

This position is designed for a motivated and skilled individual who will be instrumental in managing the GEP's operations. The GEP is a new model, established by the GCTI, to assist researchers both across MGB and external groups with performing gene editing experiments and pooled genetic screens. Successful candidates will play a pivotal role in establishing the core, hiring additional members to assist with core activities, setting up initial services, and working with potential investigators in the MGB ecosystem. Additionally, there is the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research and collaborations, including but not limited to publishing results, assisting with pre-clinical asset development, and eventually in scale up of reagents for clinical trials.

We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, innovative environment and is passionate about supporting science that makes a difference. The ideal candidate will be highly organized, possess exceptional planning skills, and demonstrate a strong curiosity about the work. Furthermore, existing experience with genome editing, CRISPR, lentiviral preparation, and pooled screening is strongly preferred.

PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Scientific Support

· Purify lentiviral libraries for pooled genetic screening.

· Transduce cell lines with libraries.

· Harvest DNA and analyze NGS results of pooled screens.

· Perform cell sorting as needed to read out screens.

· Handle primary cell lines for genome editing experiments.

· Design and test guide RNAs for CRISPR technologies, including nucleases, CRISPRi, base editing, and prime editing.

· Delivery genome editing reagents to cell lines and primary cells using diverse delivery technologies, including DNA lipofection, mRNA delivery, viral transduction, and electroporation.

Qualifications

· PhD in n a relevant scientific discipline.

· Experience with genome editing and CRISPR technologies.

· Experience with genome-wide screening.

· Prior experience in lab management and leadership is helpful.

· Strong organizational skills and the ability to multitask effectively.
