Support assigned process-development programs, which may include antisense, siRNA, conjugated, and other modified oligonucleotide modalities. Evaluate process conditions, materials, resins, reagents, and equipment settings under guidance from experienced team members. Prepare laboratory-scale drug substance, intermediates, authentic research materials, impurity samples, and samples for analytical development or manufacturing support. Collect, organize, and review experimental and analytical data, including chromatographic and mass-spectrometric results, yields, recoveries, concentrations, and impurity profiles. Record experimental procedures, observations, calculations, results, and conclusions accurately and promptly in the electronic laboratory notebook and associated data systems. Contribute data and written content to development chemistry reports, presentations, process summaries, and other technical documents under appropriate review. Operate laboratory equipment after training and authorization: perform routine cleaning, maintenance, readiness checks, and required documentation. Support investigations into unexpected processes or analytical results by gathering information, repeating defined experiments, and escalating findings to the project lead. Collaborate with Manufacturing, Analytical Development & Quality Control, Process Organic Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Development, Quality, and other partners to complete assigned work. Follow laboratory safety requirements, chemical-handling procedures, data-integrity expectations, and applicable quality and compliance practices. Maintain an organized laboratory environment and support inventory, material tracking, and safe laboratory operations. QUALIFICATIONS: Required Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, biology, pharmaceutical sciences, or a related scientific discipline; equivalent relevant experience may be considered. For the Research Associate II position, at least 2 years of relevant experience is required. Demonstrated understanding of basic chemistry, laboratory practices, and scientific problem solving through academic, internship, research, or industry experience.

Ability to stand for extended periods and perform routine laboratory activities, including handling materials and equipment. Willingness and ability to work safely with hazardous chemicals and biological or pharmaceutical materials, as applicable to assigned work. Occasional schedule flexibility may be required to support time-sensitive experiments or manufacturing activities. Preferred Research or industry experience with oligonucleotides, nucleic acids, peptide conjugates, process chemistry, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or purification science. Familiarity with solid-phase synthesis, chromatography, filtration, tangential flow filtration, or laboratory-scale manufacturing operations. Exposure to HPLC, LC-MS, UV detection, or interpretation of chromatographic and mass-spectrometric data. Experience using an electronic laboratory notebook, laboratory information system, spreadsheet, or other scientific data system. Familiarity with good laboratory practices, good manufacturing practices, chemical hygiene, or data integrity principles. Experience preparing technical summaries, laboratory reports, posters, or scientific presentations. Competencies for Success Learns quickly and applies scientific concepts to new procedures, technologies, and oligonucleotide processes. Executes assigned experiments carefully, reliably, and in accordance with approved procedures and experimental plans. Demonstrates sound scientific judgment by recognizing deviations, unexpected results, data inconsistencies, and situations requiring escalation. Uses a structured, hands-on approach to troubleshooting and seeks guidance appropriately when results fall outside expectations. Maintains accurate, timely, and complete documentation with a strong commitment to data integrity and laboratory safety. Organizes work effectively, manages competing priorities, and communicates progress, risks, and timeline concerns proactively. Takes ownership of assigned work and follows through on commitments, including completing documentation and required follow-up activities. Communicates clearly and respectfully with supervisors, project leads, and cross-functional partners.
