At Avidity Biosciences, we are passionate about the impact of every employee in realizing our vision of improving people’s lives by delivering a new class of RNA therapeutics. Avidity is revolutionizing the field of RNA with its proprietary AOCs, which are designed to combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the precision of oligonucleotide therapies to address targets and diseases previously unreachable with existing RNA therapies.

Avidity Biosciences, Inc.'s mission is to profoundly improve people's lives by delivering a new class of RNA therapeutics - Antibody Oligonucleotide Conjugates (AOCs™). Utilizing its proprietary AOC platform, Avidity demonstrated the first-ever successful targeted delivery of RNA into muscle and is leading the field with clinical development programs for three rare muscle diseases: myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Avidity is headquartered in San Diego, CA.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated individual eager to work in a fast-paced and collaborative environment as an Associate Scientist I within the Analytical and Formulation group of Avidity’s Technical Development and Operations (TD&O) department. This position will focus primarily on the clinical and commercial formulation development of AOC drug product and drug substance. Additional responsibilities may include but are not limited to supporting the developability assessments of early-stage mAb and AOC assets and performing in-use compatibility studies for intravenous and subcutaneous routes of administration. The successful candidate will have experience in analytical and biophysical characterization, formulation development, and stability testing of protein biologics, preferably for mAbs and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Strong interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills are essential as this position will require close collaboration with cross-functional team members as well as periodic communication with external research organizations and vendors. This position will report to the Principal Scientist within the Analytics and Formulation group, which is laboratory-based at the Avidity site in San Diego, CA. Non-laboratory functions such as data processing and documentation, however, may be completed remotely.
