Senior Scientist, RNA Delivery

Experience level: PhD or equivalent industry experience.

About Conception

Conception is pioneering the future of reproductive biology by generating functional human eggs from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Our mission is to unlock new possibilities for fertility, reproductive health, and genetic diversity. We are building a world-class team at the intersection of stem cell biology, developmental biology, RNA biology, and synthetic biology to make this vision a reality.

The position

We are seeking a highly creative, rigorous, and hands-on Scientist with deep expertise in RNA delivery to help optimize and enhance Conception’s differentiation platform.

This position sits at the intersection of RNA biology, delivery technology, stem cell differentiation, and platform development. You will be responsible for building robust, scalable, and biologically effective delivery workflows that enable us to test and deploy programs across multiple differentiation contexts.

What you’ll do

- Develop RNA delivery workflows for payload expression in different cell types and culture set ups. Apply RNA delivery strategies to improve and accelerate Conception’s differentiation platform.

- Optimize RNA format, delivery chemistry and formulation, dose, timing, repeat delivery, expression, viability, and biological activity.

- Build assays to measure delivery efficiency, target expression, and differentiation outcomes. Support screening workflows for RNA constructs, genes of interest, delivery conditions, and combinatorial perturbations.

- Collaborate across differentiation, cell engineering, and computational teams.

What we’re looking for

REQUIRED

- PhD or equivalent experience in RNA Biology, Cell Biology, Stem Cell Biology, Bioengineering, Synthetic Biology, Developmental Biology, or a related field.

- Hands-on experience delivering RNA into mammalian cells in various formats.

- Experience with most up to date RNA delivery technologies (LN...
