The Role
We're looking for a Co-Op to join our Proteomics team and contribute to the development of Etiome's Integromyx and Perturb-seq platforms. You'll get hands-on experience across the full mass spectrometry-based proteomics workflows, from cell culture and sample preparation through LC-MS/MS acquisition on Orbitrap systems, including exposure to chemoproteomics experiments that sit at the intersection of chemistry and biology.
You'll work as part of a cross-functional team where your contributions matter from day one. We're looking for someone who is curious, detail-oriented, and eager to develop their skills alongside a team building something new.
Key Responsibilities
Set up, maintain, and operate Orbitrap mass spectrometry and associated liquid chromatography systems
Maintain mammalian cell cultures; prepare growth media and expand cells for experiment setup
Execute proteomics sample preparation workflows including protein extraction, fractionation, and LC-MS analysis
Use laboratory automation for sample preparation and processing
Contribute to proteomics and chemoproteomics experiments and support data analysis
Present findings in team and cross-functional meetings; maintain meticulous electronic lab notebook records
Basic Qualifications
Currently enrolled in a B.S. or M.S. program in Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field
Coursework or hands-on laboratory experience in chemical biology, liquid chromatography, or mass spectrometry
Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with analytical techniques with a focus on mass spectrometry, especially Thermo Fisher instrumentation
Experience with liquid chromatography sample preparation and purification
Familiarity with R, Python, or strong interest in learning informatics tools
Interest in lab automation instrumentation
Prior experience with mammalian cell culture
What We Offer
Build alongside founders. You’ll work inside the same hypothesis-driven process Flagship uses to conceive and launch first-in-category companies.
This can be the start of a longer story. Strong co-ops are considered for future opportunities across Flagship and its portfolio companies, not just for this one role.
Work alongside people who left the safe path . Your colleagues are scientists, engineers, and operators who chose to build something new rather than join something already established.
Take on real ownership.…
