Job Description

About Us

Cloverleaf Bio is an early-stage therapeutics company that is developing a new class of engineered tRNA therapeutics. Our tRNAs target an underappreciated vulnerability of cancer: addiction to high levels of tRNA modifying enzymes. Cloverleaf's approach to drugging tRNA modifying enzymes uses engineered “trojan horse” tRNAs to modulate translation in cancerous cells. The programmability, potency, and specificity of our tRNAs gives us the potential to dramatically improve cancer treatment.

The Job

We are seeking an experienced RNA Biochemist to join our team. In this position, you will work in close conjunction with our founding team in the creation and development of a completely novel family of RNA therapeutics.

Your responsibilities will range from designing and performing both low and high-throughput RNA screening assays, generation of RNA sequencing libraries, performing mechanistic studies in cells on lead candidate RNAs, and diving into new disease areas beyond oncology.

About You

Excited by the science. We are excited by how science can improve the world and are looking for people who are too.
