BIND Bio: Scientist/Engineer - Platform Development

BIND Biosciences was founded on the pioneering research in targeted nanoparticle drug delivery conducted by Professors Robert Langer and Omid Farokhzad at MIT and Harvard, respectively. BIND has raised $18.5M in venture financing from leading life science investors ARCH Venture Partners, Flagship Ventures, NanoDimension and Polaris Venture Partners. BIND has assembled an experienced leadership team with extensive drug delivery and biotech drug development experience and is now hiring a top-tier team of scientists to rapidly advance their multi-disciplinary R&D programs in a fast-paced, exciting and fun work environment. BIND is looking for highly motivated individuals that thrive on being challenged and working in a highly collaborative environment to conduct rigorous, cutting edge science in an effort to deliver results that will eventually lead to saving and improving the lives of patients.
