Description

Our mission at Asimov is to advance humanity's ability to design living systems, enabling biotechnologies with outsized benefit to society.

We're developing a mammalian synthetic biology platformfrom cells to softwareto enable the design and manufacture of next-generation therapeutics.

Asimov, Inc. seeks a full time Scientist at our offices located at 201 Brookline Ave., Boston, MA 02215.

Scientist is a technical expert who will be responsible for conducting CHO-based cell line engineering for biologic therapeutics, designing complex experimental approaches to improve our workflows and systems, coordinating project efforts, and mentoring junior scientists.

Duties include:

Perform CHO cell line development cell culture processes including transfection, cloning, characterization, and cell banking.
Perform fedbatch bioreactor analyses on CHO cells
Perform Octet and HPLC analytical analyses
Design complex experiments, analyze data, troubleshoot, and maintain detailed records
Mentor and train junior scientists
Present scientific data to colleagues and clients, and prepare presentations and summary reports
Identify emerging practices and drive innovation for biologics cell line development and manufacturing to shape scientific strategies and develop improved workflows.
Represent the cell line development team on crossfunctional projects, making decisions for cell line activities and effectively communicating results, progress and plans.=

Position requirements:

Master's degree (or foreign degree equivalent) in Biological Engineering, Biotechnology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology or closely related field, plus 2 years of experience in any scientist, or related position.

Experience, which may be gained concurrently, must include the following:
