Research Associate II, Biology / Drug Discovery
Talus Bio
Graduate research assistant job in Seattle, WA
Talus Bioscience, a venture-backed early-stage biotechnology company, is at the forefront of developing innovative therapies for incurable cancers. Driven by the belief that "nothing is undruggable," we harness cutting-edge proteomics and AI during the initial stages of discovery to unlock previously inaccessible targets in cancer.
At Talus Bio, we combine functional proteomics, automated biology, and machine learning to target hard-to-treat transcription factor proteins driving cancer. Exciting opportunities await at Talus Bio - your chance to be part of something transformative!
Research Associate II Job Description
Talus Bio is looking for a Research Associate II (RA II) to join our Biology / Drug Discovery team full-time in our Seattle office (this is an in-person role). This person will be naturally curious, results-driven, and eager to work in a small preclinical biotech environment.
The person in this role will play a key role in supporting our drug discovery programs targeting transcription factors implicated in cancer, working closely with a multidisciplinary team of scientists to design, execute, and analyze experiments, providing critical data to advance our lead compounds through preclinical stages. This role is part of a pioneering team contributing to the development of innovative cancer therapies from the ground up.
This role will assist with hit validation from our primary screens, primarily through running multiplex RT-qPCR and other assays as viability or reporter assays. It will involve extensive optimization, assay development, and medium-throughput testing and work on multiple projects simultaneously.
Responsibilities
Conduct laboratory experiments to support the discovery and characterization of small molecules targeting transcription factors in cancer.
Perform cell-based assays (e.g., cell viability, apoptosis, and reporter assays) to evaluate compound efficacy and mechanistic effects on transcription factors.
Utilize molecular biology techniques (e.g., PCR, RT-qPCR, CRISPR, RNAi) to analyze gene expression and validate targets
Contribute to the design, optimization, and execution of assays for high-throughput screening and compound profiling.
Maintain detailed and accurate laboratory notebooks and records in compliance with company policies.
Collaborate effectively with team members to solve technical challenges and streamline workflows.
Stay current on relevant literature and emerging technologies in cancer biology, transcription factor research, and drug discovery
Ability to multitask and advance multiple projects at different stages simultaneously from assay development to compound screening
Maintain complete, timely, and accurate records of all experiments performed, including experimental design, procedures, and data analysis
Analyze/interpret experimental data and communicate the results and recommendations to other team members (oral and written formats)
Must be highly-motivated and able to work independently
QualificationsRequired
Bachelor's degree in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Cancer Biology, or a related field
Minimum of 3 years of laboratory experience with cell culture techniques and handling cancer cell lines, including a minimum of 2 years of hands-on research experience running RT-qPCR assays (including selection and custom-design of oligos).
Alternately: Master's degree with at least 1 year of experience in a similar role
Preferred
Prior experience in drug discovery, especially with transcription factor targets in cancer.
Familiarity with high-throughput screening assays and/or experience in hit-to-lead workflows.
Familiarity with cell-based assays (e.g., cell viability, reporter assays for evaluating compound effects.
Working knowledge of data analysis software (e.g., GraphPad Prism, Excel) and basic statistical methods.
This position is only open to applicants that are legally authorized to work in the US. A cover letter is required to be submitted with the CV for all applicants.
