Volastra
Associate scientist job in New York, NY
COMPANY Volastra Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage oncology biotech company based in New York City, pioneering novel approaches to treating cancer by targeting chromosomal instability (CIN), a unique vulnerability in cancer. Since its founding in 2019, Volastra has grown to support ongoing discovery efforts and a growing clinical organization.
Our lead pipeline programs focus on two distinct inhibitors of KIF18A, a novel therapeutic target. VLS-1488, internally discovered, entered clinical trials in Q4 2023 for the treatment of advanced cancers. Sovilnesib, in-licensed from Amgen in 2023, re-entered the clinic in Q2 2024. Both assets have been granted Fast-Track Designation by the FDA. Volastra is also developing new techniques to understand the biology of chromosomal instability and leveraging these insights to drive forward a preclinical pipeline of therapies against innovative targets.
Volastra is backed by top US and European venture firms such as Arch, Polaris, Vida, Droia, Catalio, and B Capital, alongside strategic investment from Eli Lilly. In addition to venture funding, Volastra has established partnerships with oncology leaders. Our senior leadership team is highly experienced, supported by a world-class advisory board.

* Track record of successfully managing external projects with CRO's from scoping to final data delivery
* Work effectively with colleagues across the team to participate in adjacent discovery-related efforts
* Provide clear updates to Discovery, Preclinical, and Leadership; write technical reports, support patent filings, and prepare data packages for milestones.
REQUIREMENTS:
* PhD in Molecular/Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Cancer Biology, Pharmacology or related field (or MS/BS with commensurate depth of industry experience).
* 5+ years of hands-on lab experience with a range of relevant research techniques including cell-based assays and molecular biology. In vivo mouse experience is strongly preferred
* Understanding of the drug development process from target identification to marketing authorization is strongly encouraged
* Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills
* Ability to collaborate well with team members
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
* Direct experience in CIN‑relevant biology (mitosis, microtubules/kinetochore function, replication stress, DNA‑damage response) or image‑based phenotyping
* In vivo oncology familiarity (xenograft/PDX syngeneic models), PK/PD thinking, and translational biomarker awareness for discovery‑to‑development continuity.
Salary Range:
Approximately $130,000 - $150,000 which may vary depending on qualifications, experience, and ultimate leveling. Leveling outside of that stated may be considered for exceptional candidates on a case-by-case basis.
