Research Associate in Lipid Nanoparticle Therapeutics

The Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of British Columbia invites applications for a Research Associate to join Dr. Pieter Cullis’s laboratory. The successful candidate will formulate and optimize lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for in vitro and in vivo systems, develop assays, and perform biophysical and analytical characterization. Responsibilities include in vitro and in vivo testing of LNPs, collaboration with a sepsis research team, training junior lab members, manuscript preparation, and supporting grant proposals. Candidates must hold a PhD in a relevant scientific discipline with at least three years of postdoctoral experience in RNA therapeutics, drug delivery, nanomedicine, or a related field, and demonstrated expertise in LNP formulation and evaluation.
