What will you be doing?

We are searching for a motivated intern to join our team doing high throughput screening/high content imaging (HTS/HCI) on novel condensate biology assays as part of the first steps towards small molecule drug discovery.

In this role you will...

  • Help maintain cell lines for experiments and/or help to build the cell banking for upcoming projects
  • Build analysis sequences/processes based off biological relevancy determined by project groups
  • Present data internally (in HTS and/or Project groups) semi-regularly to discuss ideas, update on progress, and troubleshoot issues
  • Collaborate and accomplish key tasks related to successful assay transfer and miniaturization of incoming project(s)
  • Become familiar with the processes for validation of HCI/HTS which may include but is not limited to:
    • reagent preparation
    • Learning to utilize robotic systems and their individual components
    • Using automation to complete high content imaging and analysis
    • Work with tip base and acoustic liquid handling
    • Assay data analytics
  • Work with a team to develop compound management processes
  • Maintain an electronic lab notebook with detailed notes
  • Become a valuable contributor to other initiatives as they arise in our fast-paced environment while we are working towards optimizing and streamlining our processes

What do you need?

To do that you will need...

  • Minimum 2 full years of undergraduate studies required (Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedical Engineering, bioinformatics) 
  • Demonstrated ability to:
    • Stay on task with little to no supervision
    • Take detailed notes and ask questions
    • Work safely in a laboratory environment with biohazards and moving machinery
    • Use the scientific method to isolate and resolve unexpected results
  • Ability to communicate effectively in English, the shared language of our multicultural team

It is nice but not essential that you also have…

  • Experience with liquid handlers and/or mammalian cell culture
  • Experience with common cell profiling software (Graphpad Prism, Spotfire, Cell Profiler, etc.)
  • Experience with immunofluorescence assays and/or microscopy

Join us and get hands-on experience from the leaders in condensate drug discovery. Together, we are leveraging a transformative shift in the understanding of cellular biology to discover and advance breakthrough therapeutics for the toughest diseases.

About Dewpoint

Dewpoint Therapeutics is the first company founded to apply the emerging discipline of biomolecular condensates to drug discovery. Dewpoint believes that a vast range of conditions have pathways that are regulated by condensates or arise from the dysfunction of condensates — including cancer, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disease. Dewpoint scientists are working in Boston, MA, and Dresden and Berlin, Germany, to translate condensate biology into treatments for the toughest diseases.

Dewpoint Therapeutics is an equal opportunity employer committed to the principles of non-discrimination in the workplace. Candidates will not be discriminated against on the basis of age, race, creed, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, marital status, or any other basis prohibited by federal, state, or local law.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
