Position Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled scientist specialising in regulatory RNA design. The ideal candidate will have a strong bioinformatics background, deep understanding of RNA structure-function relationships and experience using computational tools for RNA engineering. Wet lab expertise is preferable.

If you are passionate about advancing RNA-based therapeutics and possess the required skills and qualifications listed below, we invite you to join our dynamic team as a scientific consultant.

Key roles:

• Bioinformatics analyses (e.g. GWAS and transcriptomic datasets)
• Integration of computational approaches for analysing, designing and optimising RNA structures/binding kinetics.
• Assisting with experimental design

Requirements

• Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, RNA Biology).
• Proven expertise in RNA structure analysis and design.
• Experience using relevant computational programs e.g. NUPACK, RNAfold, R-CHIE.
• Strong bioinformatics background with proficiency in common programming languages (e.g. Python, R).
• Demonstrated experience validating RNA function in the wet lab, or assisting in experimental design. NB: experience screening RNA libraries would be beneficial.
• In-depth knowledge of endogenous and synthetic RNA biology.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team.

Benefits

• Working with an ambitious, inspiring and impact-driven team
• Applying your skillset to innovative and therapeutically meaningful biology
• Exposure to Deep Science Ventures and a leading pharmaceutical organisation partnering on the project
• Competitive reimbursement
• Flexible working hours (fully remote) - open to part time or full time arrangements.
