Associate Scientist, Tissue Engineering

Who we are

We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to take the form of a public benefit corporation. Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs.

United Therapeutics (Nasdaq: UTHR ) seeks to travel down the corridors of indifference to develop treatments for rare, deadly diseases. We were founded in 1996 by a family seeking a cure for their daughter’s pulmonary arterial hypertension( PAH) . Today, we have six FDA-approved therapies that treat PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease ( PH-ILD ) and neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. Our near-term pipeline seeks to develop additional therapies for PAH and pulmonary fibrosis ( PF ).

The cure for end-stage life-threatening diseases like PAH, PH-ILD, PF, and many others is an organ transplant, but only a small percentage of donated organs are available to address the vast need. For this reason, we are working to create manufactured organs to address the shortage of kidneys, hearts, lungs, and livers available for transplant. We believe an unlimited supply of tolerable, transplantable organs will eliminate the transplant waiting list and cure end-stage organ diseases for which transplant is not currently an option.

Who you are:

The Associate Scientist, Tissue Systems in the Organ Manufacturing Group (OMG) of United Therapeutics will contribute to advancing tissue engineering strategies to create living 3D printed lung scaffolds in a multidisciplinary team environment. With guidance from the lead scientists, the Associate Scientist will design and execute experiments to generate cellularized lung scaffolds, and will develop and employ analytical methods to assess tissue functionality. This position is full-time on-site and may require occasional weekend flexibility.

Minimum Requirements

• Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Cell Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Tissue Engineering, Bioengineering, or relevant equivalent.

• Track record of success (publications, products, patents, grants, or fellowships) in a field related to pulmonary biology, iPSC-derived epithelial / endothelial lineages, tissue engineering, and/or culturing cells in novel contexts.

• Strong technical experience including imaging techniques (e.g. basic microscopy, confocal imaging, image analysis) and biological analytical assays (e.g. immunocytochemistry, gene expression analysis, ELISAs, flow cytometry, viability assays, etc).

• Minimum one first-author publication in a related or comparable field.

• High organizational skills, strong communication skills, adaptability, and independent trouble-shooting capabilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in the field of lung development and/or regeneration.

• In-depth knowledge of lung epithelial cells, endothelial cells, or general cell biology.

• Experience or high interest with the operation of bioreactors, perfusion systems / microfluidics, organ-on-chip, scaffold culture, and/or similar dynamic or large-scale culture systems.

• Experience with cell-cell interactions, ECM production, or co-culture techniques.

• Post-doctoral or industry experience may be beneficial but is not required.
