Scientist I, Nanoparticle Formulation and Process Development

Gen Edit is an early‑stage company developing a proprietary and novel delivery platform. The interdisciplinary team works across polymer chemistry, payload, formulation, screening, and preclinical groups to develop the next generation of gene therapies and nanomedicines.

Seeking a motivated individual to join our team in Brisbane, CA. This full‑time wet‑lab role supports nanoparticle formulation activities and reports to a scientist in product and process development (PPD). Responsibilities include executing at a high level in the lab, maintaining detailed records, optimizing and developing analytical techniques, and cooperating efficiently with other technicians and scientists.

• PhD (or BS/MS with significant experience) in nanoparticle sciences and formulation
• 3+ years of relevant hands‑on lab experience, ideally in an industry setting
• Expertise in nanoparticle formulation and related analytical characterization: optimization of mRNA and small‑molecule encapsulation mixing methods (IJM, microfluidics), light scattering and zeta potential (DLS, MALS), quantitative fluorescence assays (Ribo Green, fluorescamine)
• Highly preferred: nanoparticle scale‑up manufacturing and process development including purification and concentration methods (TFF, UF/DF, sterile filtration, analytical HPLC) and standard molecular and cell biology techniques (UV‑Vis, gel electrophoresis, protein expression characterization, western blot, ELISA, flow cytometry, Flow Jo, transfection of mammalian tissue culture)
• Capable of independent experimental design, execution, and troubleshooting
• Ability to develop standard operating procedures with precise reproducibility and maintain detailed electronic lab notebook records
• Excellent communication, presentation, and organizational skills
• Work authorization in the US is required
