Description

BS/MS level Molecular Biologist/Biochemist sought to drive product development and process optimization for a rapidly growing biotechnology company.

Founded in 2012, EpiCypher^® was created in response to the growing demand for high-quality reagents and services to study chromatin regulation and enable epigenetics-focused drug development. Our designer nucleosomes (dNucs) with fully defined histone post-translational modifications or DNA modifications power the dCypher^® Discovery Platform for dissecting epigenetic regulators in their physiological context, and the SNAP™ portfolio of Spike-in Controls for quantitative genome-scale studies. EpiCypher is at the cutting edge of chromatin mapping with the recent launch of the CUTANA™ platform for ultra-sensitive CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag assays. These provide major advantages over ChIP-seq, delivering high quality epigenomic data at a cost and ease-of-use accessible to a broad range of researchers.

Position Responsibilities:

Candidate will leverage skills in molecular biology and biochemistry to support our delivery of epigenetic reagent and tool development and manufacturing. Laboratory work will require development efforts, employing a wide variety of assays and techniques, and collaborative work to meet deliverable deadlines.

Compensation:                        

Competitive salary commensurate with experience. Generous benefits package includes subsidized health, dental, and vision; paid vacation, sick leave, and parental leave; federal and floating holidays; 401k matching; professional development reimbursement; paid life insurance; and stock options.
