Who we are
Deep Genomics is a Toronto-based startup company that is building an AI-powered discovery and development platform to significantly expand the universe of medicines available for genetically-defined diseases. Founded in 2015, Deep Genomics brings together a multidisciplinary team of world-leading experts in machine learning, genomics, chemistry, and biology. Together we are on a mission to rapidly discover and develop oligonucleotide drugs for the treatment of patients with severe disorders of the liver, central nervous system, and eye.
Who we are looking for
We are seeking an ambitious and talented molecular biologist to help us develop high-throughput assays for dataset generation for our ML platform. You will be responsible for investigating DNA and RNA regulatory elements as well as developing and optimizing massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs), and NGS assays (e.g. CLIP-Seq). You are a great communicator, highly organized and are willing to adapt to new situations quickly.
What you bring:
- A PhD in the biological sciences with at least 2 years of postgraduate experience, preferably in a biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry setting.
- Graduate or postgraduate experience in assays designed to interrogate DNA and RNA regulatory elements (e.g. MPRAs, CLIP-seq, luciferase assays).
- Graduate or postgraduate experience with standard techniques in molecular and cell biology including, for example, general cell culture, genetic manipulation of mammalian cells (e.g. CRISPR/Cas9), DNA/RNA/Protein isolation and analysis, cell sorting, ELISAs, RT-qPCR.
- Comfort working with limited supervision in a fast-paced and rapidly growing work environment.
Bonus points if you have:
- Previous experience working with iPSCs, neural stem cells, hepatocytes, immortalized/cancer cell lines, antisense oligonucleotides
What we offer:
- A highly competitive salary, health and dental benefits, and meaningful equity compensation.
- Exceptional opportunities for learning and growth.
- A collegial working environment with regular social events for team members and their families.
- You’ll also be joining a bright and highly-motivated team working at the intersection of the most exciting areas of science and technology.
Deep Genomics thanks all applicants, however only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
