ProFound Therapeutics is seeking an innovative and highly motivated Co-Op/Intern with experience in cell biology and/or oncology to play a vital role in the company’s Oncology team. This individual will contribute scientific and technical expertise to a multidisciplinary team, emphasizing conceptualization, experimentation, data analysis, presentation, and strategic planning. The ideal candidate for this position will have a background in cellular biology and be enthusiastic and capable of working in a multidisciplinary (e.g. genomics, bioinformatics, protein biochemistry) team in the biosciences. The candidate should be able to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced entrepreneurial setting.
What you'd do
- The successful candidate will work both independently and as part of a collaborative team to design, plan and execute experiments that support research activities, project goals and platform development
- Server as a contributor to the Oncology team, whose mission is to discover new therapeutics and validate new therapeutic targets
- Report experimental plans and results to the scientific team
- Proactively review literature to contribute to new ideas, methods/technologies for discovery and therapeutic areas
What they want
- Pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in oncology and/or cell biology or related field, such as biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, or protein sciences.
- Hands-on laboratory experience in cellular and molecular biology techniques and attention to detail
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, capable of conveying technical information in a clear and thorough manner
- Strong collaborative skills with evidence of working in a team
What you get
- Build alongside founders. You’ll work inside the same hypothesis-driven process Flagship uses to conceive and launch first-in-category companies.
- This can be the start of a longer story. Strong co-ops are considered for future opportunities across Flagship and its portfolio companies, not just for this one role.
- Work alongside people who left the safe path. Your colleagues are scientists, engineers, and operators who chose to build something new rather than join something already established.
- Take on real ownership. You're contributing to ventures that are still being defined. Your work can shape real decisions, not just support them.
- Be paid like the contributor you are. Compensation reflects the real work you take on.
