Job Description:

Beam is looking for a highly energetic and motivated summer intern to join our mRNA Science team from June to August of 2026. The intern will assist in producing and screening mRNA—which codes for the base editor protein—with novel sequence designs and chemical modification to enhance the potency and specificity of the mRNA used across multiple programs. Specifically, this role will involve performing and optimizing in vitro transcription (IVT) reactions and running biochemical assays and chromatographic analysis to characterize the mRNA products. The ideal candidate for this role is detail-oriented, persistent, highly organized, and has an innovative mindset toward solving technical challenges. This position will play a central role in advancing our core mRNA technology, while providing individual exposure to one of the most important classes of medication of the 21st century.

Job Responsibility:

  • Produce mRNA with novel sequences and chemistry via IVT reactions
  • Thoroughly analyze the product by capillary electrophoresis, gel electrophoresis, and high-performance liquid-chromatography
  • Work collaboratively with other teams to perform editing experiments in cells
  • Maintain detailed documentation of experiments in the ELN system
  • Adhere to all laboratory safety requirements and procedures

Requirements:

  • Pursuing a BS or MS in biological sciences or a related field (Bioengineering, Biochemistry/Biophysics, Cell Biology/Molecular Biology) with at least 1 year of relevant laboratory experience
  • Knowledge of biochemical & molecular biology methods used in drug discovery and development
  • Proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and data analysis
  • Experience maintaining a lab notebook and following written protocols
  • Motivated to learn and detail oriented with excellent organizational and communication skills
  • Currently enrolled in a degree-granting college or university program and maintain student status throughout the internship
