Scientist, Functional Genomics - Connective Tissue Disorders
We're hiring Functional Genomics Scientists with expertise in Connective Tissue Disorders to join our efforts to reimagine the possibilities of personalized medicine. Your job will include taking deep dives on suspected pathogenic SNPs and VUSs (variants of unknown significance) to determine if they are indeed deleterious to protein/cellular function in the context of connective tissue diseases. We want you to go from gene(s) to protein(s) to phenotype(s).
In this position at ICR, you'll get to:
- Research the potential functional impact of any given SNP on protein or cellular function: from RNA to protein to cell to systems-level analysis including work on known disease-associated SNPs and VUSs in the context of various human primary and iPSC-derived cell types
- Project manage out-sourced work with CROs to maximize your productivity
- Collaborate with other ICR scientists to solve complex human medical mysteries
Please apply if you have:
- An advanced degree in biomedical sciences, with specialized knowledge in connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders
- Advanced knowledge of connective tissue and extracellular matrix biology
- In-depth knowledge of and experience with modern functional genomics and molecular genetics techniques
- Computer skills: R, Linux, ability to work with VCF files
And you'll need:
- The ability to work in the United States without sponsorship
- To have an easygoing, hard-working personality
