Research Associate, Platform Technology

About the role

Deep Genomics is at the forefront of using artificial intelligence to transform drug discovery. Our proprietary AI platform decodes the complexity of RNA biology to identify novel drug targets, mechanisms, and therapeutics inaccessible through traditional methods. With expertise spanning machine learning, bioinformatics, data science, engineering, and drug development, our multidisciplinary team in Toronto and Cambridge, MA is revolutionizing how new medicines are created. Opportunity We are looking for a passionate and detail-oriented Research Associate to become an integral part of our Platform Technology team. This is an opportunity to contribute hands-on to an AI-driven drug discovery platform, generating the experimental data that directly informs the biological models powering our therapeutic pipeline. You will bring scientific curiosity and rigor to the bench, supporting the execution of molecular and sequencing-based assays that our computational and therapeutic teams rely on to advance program goals. This role offers early-career professionals a meaningful foothold in a cross functional discovery environment, with exposure to cutting-edge technologies spanning NGS workflows, liquid handling automation, and diverse RNA therapeutic modalities including ADAR editing, ASOs, siRNAs, and mRNAs. If you are eager to develop technical breadth while contributing to work that has real therapeutic impact, we encourage you to apply. Deep Genomics encourages applications from all backgrounds who seek the opportunity to build the world's leading AI-driven genetic medicine company. If you have a disability or special need, accommodation is available on request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process. *This posting reflects a current vacancy. We offer competitive compensation aligned with local market benchmarks. The salary range for this role is $75,000 - $90,000, and reflects Cambridge, USA-based roles; compensation may differ for Canada-based candidates.

Requirements

• BS in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Genomics, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or a related discipline with 1-3 years of relevant industry or research experience (including internships or postgraduate research).
• Foundational knowledge of molecular and cell biology principles.
• Some hands-on exposure to amplicon sequencing or other targeted NGS workflows; broader NGS experience is also welcomed.
• Experience with nucleic acid extraction, quantitation, and standard molecular biology techniques such as PCR, qPCR or d(d)PCR, gel electrophoresis.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to rigorous, reproducible lab work.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team-oriented environment.
