Cell Line Development
Research Associate is involved in the creation of stable cell lines for the
recombinant adeno-associated viral vector (rAAV) production processes . He/she
executes experiments, produces relevant documentation, and works under supervision.

Responsibilities:

• 
  Culturing mammalian
  cells for viral production in shake flasks, spinner flasks, spin tubes, deep
  well and automation platforms.
• 
  Performing experiments
  in the development, optimization and scale-up of AAV producer cell lines.
• 
  Preparing process
  development protocols, data analysis summaries, technical reports, and other
  relevant process documentation.
• 
  Optimization of
  transfection and transduction protocols for newly engineered cell lines.
• 
  Maintaining an accurate
  laboratory notebook.
• 
  Ensuring work conforms
  to applicable quality and safety standards.

Qualifications:

• 
  B.S. with 3-6 years of
  experience, MSc with 2-5 years of relevant scientific or technical experience

• 
  Experience in cell
  culture including materials, instruments and technologies is essential.
• 
  Experience with viral
  vector production is preferred.
• 
  Hands-on experience in
  mammalian cell culture production processes is a critical requirement. This
  includes small scale (shaker flasks, spinner flasks, spin tubes, deep well)
  and/or bench top bioreactor scale.
• 
  Experience with
  creation, analysis and characterization of new engineered cell lines and
  stability studies (sub cloning, clonal expansion, transient transfection and
  expression screening) is a strong plus.
• 
  Experience in molecular
  biology techniques (plasmid design, molecular cloning, SDS
• 
  PAGE/western blotting,
  qPCR, etc) is a strong plus.
• 
  Automation and ELN
  experience is a strong plus.
• 
  Experience in
  laboratory automation hardware and software is a plus.
• 
  Due to the inherent
  nature of cell culture, some weekend work and/or work on holidays may be
  needed. On occasion, long work hours may be required depending upon the
  experiment schedule.
• 
  Handling large volumes
  of cell culture or related materials, such as tens of liters, may be required.
  Also, several viral materials, including AAV may be involved in the work.
