Job Description:

Revolution Medicines is a clinical-stage precision oncology company focused on developing novel targeted therapies to inhibit high-value frontier targets in RAS-addicted cancers. The company's R&D pipeline comprises preclinical and clinical stage RAS(ON) Inhibitors designed to suppress diverse oncogenic variants of RAS proteins, and RAS Companion Inhibitors for use in combination treatment strategies. As a new Co-op student member of the Revolution Medicines team, you will join other outstanding scientists in a tireless commitment to patients with cancers harboring mutations in the RAS signaling pathway.

The Opportunity:

As a member of the Cancer Immunology team within the Biology Department, you will:

* Contribute to cutting-edge discovery research with unique RAS pathway inhibitors.


* Conduct experiments to assess how the tumor microenvironment (TME) is altered immunologically with RAS(ON) Inhibitors, including:
* Understanding how IO (Immuno-Oncology) agents synergize with RAS(on) compounds in the TME in pre-clinical studies.


* Hypothesis-driven studies of IO mechanism of action in vitro.


* Demonstrated experience in executing and interpreting data from lab experiments.




* Analyze experimental data and present results at internal meetings.


* As a member of RVMD Research team, you will have the opportunity to collaborate extensively with biologists, chemists, pharmacologists, and data scientists to generate novel insights into key drivers of RAS-addicted cancers.



Required Experience, Skills, and Education:

* Current biosciences, bioengineering, or biochemistry undergraduate or graduate student.


* Completed general coursework in organic chemistry, biology, and biochemistry/molecular/cell biology.


* Prior laboratory experience in a relevant research area would be an advantage. For example:
* Laboratory experience with cellular immunology techniques (e.g., flow cytometry, cell culture, immune-phenotyping, ELISpot, multiplex cytokines, etc.).


* Hands-on experience with molecular and cell biology techniques.


* Background in cancer biology and immunology.


* Demonstrated experience in executing and interpreting data from lab experiments.


* Bioinformatic/statistical tools such as R would be highly advantageous.




* Detail-oriented with excellent record-keeping and organizational skills.


* Enthusiasm for learning new techniques and applying them to benefit cancer patients.
