Moderna's Technical Development organization is looking to design and scale manufacturing processes for mRNA medicines, developing new manufacturing platforms to produce mRNA therapeutics and vaccines for clinical trials and commercial licensure.
Requirements
- Strong fundamental scientific and engineering skills for the evaluation of experimental data
- Laboratory skills applicable to bioprocess development and analytical methods
Responsibilities
- Use laboratory, technical and communication skills to generate experimental results, perform data analysis, and document in formal reports including conclusions and recommended next steps.
- Perform process scale-up, support technology transfer and provide manufacturing support at internal Moderna, and external contract manufacturing sites.
- Participate in planning, design, execution, analysis of experiments and formal risk assessments to establish critical process parameters, and overall process control strategies.
- Optimize the impact of formulation and processing conditions on the stability of mRNA drug products and process intermediates.
- Review and share relevant academic literature and establish new collaborations with internal research and manufacturing groups.
- Create scaled-down models, and high throughput experimental setups for unit operations.
- Characterize mRNA and lipid nanoparticles through collaboration with the analytical team.
Other
- Current student enrolled in a Bachelors or Masters program in Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Bioengineering, Biomolecular Engineering, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Biophysics, Biostatistics, Biotechnology, Mathematics, Molecular Biology, Pharmaceutical Science, Statistics, or a related field
- Candidates must already hold work authorization in US and be able to maintain that status without the need for future sponsorship.
- This position is site-based, requiring you to be at Moderna’s site full-time. This position is not eligible for remote work.
- GPA of 3.5 on a 4 scale or equivalent
- Demonstrated ability to work both independently as well as the ability to contribute to high performing teams.
