Postdoctoral Positions to Investigate the Spatial Cell Biology of RNA
July 27, 2023
Multiple NIH-funded postdoctoral positions are available in David Shechner's lab at the University of Washington in Seattle, including a project jointly mentored by Charles Murry at UW's Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM). We are looking for talented, curious, and collaborative colleagues who are excited about using cutting-edge genomics technologies to understand the spatial cell biology of RNA. Their projects will investigate the molecular mechanisms by which RNAs coordinate subcellular compartmentalization in biomolecular condensates like nucleoli, splicing speckles, and transcription condensates, and will reveal how these architectural processes are dysregulated in heart disease and cancer.

Interested applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the contact information for three references to David Shechner. Come join our team of plucky RNA Nerds!
Postdoctoral Position – Maquat Lab
July 27, 2023
A post-doctoral position is open in the Maquat Lab at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, NY. Potential projects include study of – FMRP function in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS); newly defined effectors of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; or mechanistic coupling of transcription and RNA processing on chromatin and beyond. Applicants should hold a PhD or MD/PhD degree(s) and have expertise in molecular, cellular, or structural biology. A background in neurobiology and/or stem-cell biology will facilitate the work on FXS; a background in computational biology will facilitate all projects, but neither is required.

Senior Scientist, Analytical Sciences & Structural Biology
July 27, 2023
The Editas Analytical Sciences & Structural Biology team in Boulder, Colorado focuses on three key areas. The first is fundamental research aimed at driving the design of the next generation of therapies. The second is process development on declared lead guide RNAs (gRNAs) to enable a streamlined path to manufacturing. The third is the manufacture of high-quality gRNAs to support internal clinical programs and those of our collaborators.
This new role on the Analytical Sciences & Structural Biology team in Boulder provides a unique opportunity to contribute to Editas’ efforts through developing methodologies to characterize structure/function relationships in CRISPR nucleases, including how chemical changes to the guide RNAs affect efficacy.
Must have a Ph.D. in chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, or a related field, 3+ years of experience in the pharma/biotechnology industry; experience with in vitro transcription, purification, and characterization of mRNA or similar technologies; and significant experience with biophysical characterization of macromolecules, and extensive knowledge of electrophoretic, spectroscopic and chromatographic methodologies.
Scientist II, Molecular Biology
July 27, 2023
At Editas Medicine we’re focused on translating the power and potential of the CRISPR/Cas9 and CRISPR/Cpf1 (also known as Cas12a) genome editing systems into a robust pipeline of medicines for people living with serious diseases around the world.
We are looking for a highly motivated and creative molecular biologist to join the Editas Platform. The ideal candidate will have expertise in addressing challenging genomic problems and a passion for assay development. The selected candidate will collaborate with scientific teams to identify genomic assay development requirements, propose the optimal approach, and define the experimental design and timelines and oversee the coordination of assay validation in partnership with scientific teams.
