PopVax Pvt. Ltd is hiring Junior Scientist/Scientist - Protein & RNA Design
About Company-
PopVax is an Indian biotechnology company based in Hyderabad which is building a next-generation mRNA platform for broadly-protective vaccines via computationally-driven antigen design and a novel delivery platform, starting with a next-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate that will enter clinical trials in the US this year. Research work has been funded primarily via research agreements with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (India) & Vitalik Buterin's Balvi.
As first program moves into the clinic, they are beginning preclinical work on a variety of novel mRNA vaccines and therapeutics in parallel.
PopVax Pvt. Ltd is seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented researcher to join Computational Design Team as a Junior Scientist/Scientist – Protein & RNA Design to design broadly effective next-generation vaccines and therapeutics. This is a unique opportunity to operate on the frontier of understanding of the physiological impact of cutting-edge protein design and nucleic acid modalities.
