Sr. Scientist, Assay Development
About InariInari is the SEEDesign company.
We embrace the diversity and complexity of nature in every aspect of our business to drive innovation - to push the boundaries of what is possible.
Through our unrivaled technology platform, Inari uses predictive design and advanced multiplex gene editing to develop step-change products.
We are taking a nature positive approach to unlock the full potential of seed that will transform the food system.
The results will lead to more productive acres delivering value creation for farmers and a more sustainable future for our planet.
Our success is dependent on great minds, collaborating to generate bright ideas and deliver exceptional outcomes.
We have over 270 employees, with research sites in Cambridge, MA (USA) and Ghent (Belgium), as well as a product development site in West Lafayette, IN (USA).
We've deliberately built a team that brings diversity of thought to all aspects of our business, to generate new ideas, approaches, and ways of operating.
And we've intentionally combined experience with potential, bringing agriculture industry experts with the desire to innovate together with bright minds from academia, human therapeutics, software, and consulting.
If you want to be part of a diverse and inclusive team developing unique solutions to feed the world while protecting our planet's natural resources, we'd love to hear from you!OverviewThis is an exciting opportunity to apply 21st century genetic and biochemical and cellular tools to Inari's trait gene discovery and tool development strategy.
This position will play a key role in trait discovery, gene activity and protein characterization.
As a Senior Scientist Assay Development, you will work with science project & platform teams to accelerate identification and validation of genes and gene combinations to fuel our product design pipeline.
You will also develop assays to support characterization and continuous improvement of novel genome editing tools.
You will contribute to the development of scientists and research associates within Inari's science organization.
As Senior Scientist, R&D Assay Development you will bring deep expertise in translating biological questions into robust, medium/high-throughput, low-cost and accurate assay workflows to support hypothesis generation and diagnostic needs.
Assay systems encompass reporter detection, molecular diagnostics using RNA and/or DNA, protein:
protein interactions and cell physiological readouts.
The candidate will embrace innovative thinking and push boundaries to develop assays that test genome editing hypotheses and enable accelerated development of crops with improved performance driven by Inari's gene editing technology toolbox.
You will also be responsible for building the team to carry out this work.
At Inari we believe truly groundbreaking innovation can only occur through diversity.
You will therefore embrace and have the ability to leverage a diverse, collaborative environment to express your creativity, continue to build technical skills and enable the development of other team members.
You will be part of a large scientific organization across multiple sites and contribute, through your expertise and leadership, to an ambitious portfolio of projects.
You will have the opportunity to propose and develop new workflows and you will be responsible for supporting the development and execution of our cross-functional discovery teams.
This is an exciting and fast-paced opportunity to have a major impact on Inari's Science Portfolio and company goals, ultimately producing new patents, contributions to the scientific community and most importantly products.
