Scientist, Oncology Research

Gilead is hiring a Scientist to join the Tumor Intrinsic Biology group within Research Oncology, contributing to early discovery research on the molecular mechanisms driving cancer cell identity, tumor maintenance, and therapeutic response. The role applies protein and nucleic acid biochemistry to investigate macromolecular complexes involved in transcriptional regulation, lineage control, and oncogenic signaling — including expressing, purifying, and reconstituting multi-subunit protein and ribonucleoprotein complexes — and collaborates across oncology biology, chemistry, structural biology, translational medicine, and computational sciences to advance discovery-stage programs. Basic qualifications are a Bachelor's degree with 5+ years of relevant experience, a Master's with 3+ years, or a PhD (0+ years). Preferred experience includes reconstituting/characterizing endogenous multi-subunit complexes from human cells, biophysical binding-assay techniques (SPR, BLI, fluorescence polarization, ITC, EMSA), mammalian cell culture, and knowledge of transcriptional regulation, chromatin biology, or cancer signaling pathways. This is a Foster City, CA role; the posted salary range is $146,540-$189,640.
