Employer job description
From Flagship Pioneering, Inc.'s posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
About Empress
Empress is pioneering mechanistic intelligence for drug discovery — helping R&D teams understand what their molecules are doing, what is driving activity, what liabilities may emerge, and which candidates are best positioned to advance. By integrating multi-omics, chemoproteomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, computational inference, knowledge graphs, and CRISPR-based functional validation, Empress turns biological complexity into clearer development decisions.
Our platform gives discovery teams access to capabilities that would otherwise require years, specialized infrastructure, and rare cross-functional expertise to build internally.
Empress is a privately held biotech conceived by Flagship Pioneering, which brings the courage, long-term vision, and resources needed to realize unreasonable results.
The Role
We're looking for a Research Associate II to join the Genomics team and own day-to-day operations of our automated high-throughput bulk RNA sequencing platform. The bulk-Tx platform is a core component of Empress's Integromyx platform, generating the transcriptomic data that drives mechanistic insights across our drug discovery programs. This is a hands-on role with end-to-end responsibility for someone who wants to build deep technical expertise in NGS and functional genomics.
