Contract - 12 Months (possible extension)

Location - South San Francisco, CA 94080. 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. He/she will be responsible for: 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. Participating on project teams (as needed). Must be able to lift 25 pounds. 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.
