About the role

Scientist/Senior Scientist South San Francisco, CAAbout NewLimitNewLimit is a biotechnology company working to radically extend human healthspan. We're developing medicines to treat age-related diseases by reprogramming the epigenome, a new therapeutic mechanism to restore regenerative potential in aged and diseased cells. We leverage functional genomics, pooled perturbation screening, and machine learning models to unravel the biology of epigenetic aging and disease using experiments of unprecedented scale. Position NewLimit is seeking a scientist with experience in discovery biology to join our Vascular therapeutic team. Our Vascular program is developing reprogramming medicines to restore youthful function in aged endothelial cells for the treatment of renal, cardiometabolic, and cognitive diseases. Your role will focus on developing and deploying assays to measure the functional decline that occurs in endothelial cells with age. You will collaborate closely with our technology teams to help create the first reprogramming medicines for the vascular tissue that supports all others.

What You'll Do: In your role as a Scientist, you will:

Develop functional assays and pre-clinical models to measure endothelial cell function
Collaborate with our Functional Genomics and Predictive Modeling teams to test reprogramming hypotheses at scale
Measure the impact of mRNA reprogramming medicines on endothelial cell function
Engineer in vivo nucleic acid delivery methods for endothelial cells
Analyze and interpret experimental data to drive pre-clinical decision making

Requirements: Ph. D. in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry or a related field or equivalent industry experience (5+ years) Experience with primary cell isolation and functional characterization Experience working with mouse models (e.g. kidney, cardiovascular, or cognitive disease models) Experience with transgenic manipulation of primary cells either ex vivo or in vivo (e.g. using viral vectors, nucleic acid delivery)

Nice to Have:

History of contributing to a drug development program at the pre-clinical or clinical development stage
Experience leading the design and execution of pre-clinical studies in mouse models
Experience with single cell genomics methods
Experience with pooled screening approaches using bulk or single cell read-outs (e.g. CRISPR fitness screens, Perturb/CROP-seq)

Benefits: NewLimit offers generous benefits to ensure our team can focus on our mission:

Health, dental, and vision insurance 401(k) with company match
Paid parental leave
Industry-leading paid time off (PTO) — 20 days/year for all employees + holidays

Salary Range: $130,000 to $180,000. Compensation for the role will depend on a number of factors, including a candidate's qualifications, skills, competencies, and experience. NewLimit offers a competitive benefits package, which includes a 401k, healthcare coverage, and 20 days of PTO.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
