This scientist will work in our oligonucleotide development laboratories located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The responsibilities include oligonucleotide synthesis process development, characterization, and scale-up to support the development and production of drug candidates. The individual will explore novel ideas to improve the oligonucleotide synthesis process for superior consistency or productivity. The position also involves developing synthesis processes of non-platform oligonucleotides.  The ability to design, perform, and record experiment procedures and data, interpret data, and write development reports is critical.Main job responsibilities include:Collaborate with development teams to design and conduct laboratory experiments to optimize and/or characterize the synthesis processes of oligonucleotides with an emphasis on improvement in process robustness and productivity and control of impurities.Record the experimental procedures and data accurately.Communicate research results effectively by writing research reports and presenting data in team meetings.
