About the role

Would you like to join a team of forward-thinking innovators, scientists, and creators and help us shape the future of human health?

We are Wonderfeel, a San Francisco-based company that set out to accelerate wellness technologies through bioscience. By combining the wonders of nature and science, we are on a mission to optimize the healthspan of humankind. Our first flagship product, Wonderfeel Youngr™, is recognized as the best of its kind and is tracking great momentum with an educated customer base.

We are looking for a Staff Scientist, Biology, to support and execute our research efforts. This is a highly collaborative role, working closely with our scientific leadership to translate complex biological questions into structured, high-quality studies.

This role reports directly to Dr. Andrew Salzman, Chief Medical Officer, a Harvard-educated physician, inventor, and biomedical entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in drug discovery and development. You will work closely with him on all things related to research.

What you’ll do:
Oversee outsourced biology studies conducted at CROs, ensuring scientific rigor, clarity, and execution quality
Design experiments and translate research questions into actionable study protocols
Manage timelines, deliverables, and communication across external research partners
Troubleshoot experimental challenges and guide iteration with a strong hypothesis-driven mindset
Analyze and interpret experimental data, including statistical evaluation where relevant
Critically review scientific literature and integrate findings into ongoing research strategy
Work closely with the principal investigator to refine direction and uncover new opportunities for discovery


Requirements:
PhD in Biology
Postdoctoral experience with at least five years of hands-on work at the bench
Strong expertise in at least one of the following areas: intracellular signaling, structural biology, proteomics, or enzymology
Strong foundation in experimental design, data interpretation, and scientific reasoning
Ability to design experiments, manage execution of protocols, troubleshoot, and interpret results with statistical rigor
Advanced to native-level proficiency in English (written and verbal)

Preferred: The following experience would further strengthen your application:

Experience overseeing outsourced biology studies at CROs
Research experience in post-translational modifications, mammalian cell line construction, and recombinant protein expression.
Experience in site-specific mutagenesis valuable.

How you think:
Deeply curious, with a natural instinct to ask “why” before “what next”
Hypothesis-driven and grounded in mechanism of action
Precise, structured, and detail-oriented in both thinking and execution
Comfortable navigating ambiguity while maintaining scientific rigor
Motivated by the pursuit of breakthrough insights, not just incremental progress

IMPORTANT: We'd love to get to know your full scientific journey. Please include a comprehensive CV with your publication list.
