OPPORTUNITY
Mammoth is currently seeking a talented and detail-oriented Research Associate with experience in molecular biology, flow cytometry, and/or mammalian cell culture to join our growing genome editing team. The successful candidate will work closely and collaboratively with colleagues to design/develop, perform and execute experiments on mammalian cell lines to support pipeline projects to develop Cas nucleases for genome editing and other applications. They will have the opportunity to contribute broadly across multiple technical areas. The position requires adaptability, excellent planning, strong organizational and communication skills, as well as the ability to work independently in a fast-paced team-oriented, and dynamic environment.

BENEFITS
Mammoth Biosciences is harnessing the diversity of life to power the next generation of CRISPR products. Through the discovery and engineering of novel CRISPR systems, the company is enabling the full potential of its platform to read and write the code of life. Mammoth aims to develop permanent genetic cures through best-in-class in vivo and ex vivo therapies and to democratize disease detection with on-demand diagnostics. Mammoth can provide enhanced diagnostics and genome editing for life science research, healthcare, agriculture, biodefense and more. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Mammoth Biosciences is co-founded by CRISPR pioneer and Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna and Trevor Martin, Janice Chen, and Lucas Harrington. The firm is backed by top institutional investors including Redmile Group, Foresite Capital, Senator Investment Group, Sixth Street, Decheng, Mayfield, NFX, and 8VC, along with leading individual investors including Brook Byers, Tim Cook, and Jeff Huber.
TEAM
Our small-size proteins, such as Cas14 and CasPhi, are poised to transform disease treatment enabling novel editing approaches and delivery options that are difficult to achieve or not even possible with previously described CRISPR-Cas systems. Our teams are responsible for discovering and engineering novel CRISPR systems, establishing CRISPR-based diagnostics, and translating our unique CRISPR technology into therapeutic treatments with the ultimate goal of cures for indications with high medical need.
