The role
We are building an automated biology platform and, and we are looking for a molecular biologist / research scientist to handle the core wet lab work: selection design, library construction, and readouts.
Responsibilities
•
Run end to end workflows, library through selection to characterized hits
•
Design selection strategy: stringency schedules, bottlenecks, counter-selections
•
Design FACS sorting and screening strategies, and interpret population trajectories across rounds
Must-haves
1.
Cell culture: hands-on experience, ideally with yeast.
2.
Molecular cloning: fundamentals (PCR amplification, Gibson assembly, Golden Gate assembly, transformations); experience with sequencing services.
3.
Flow cytometry/FACS: gating strategies, staining, sample loading.
Nice-to-haves
Yeast genetics and surface display · OrthoRep or other continuous hypermutation systems · phage display or PACE · SPR/BLI · NGS library prep and analysis · protein expression and purification · Opentrons, Hamilton, Tecan, or eVOLVER-class hardware.
If you have never worked in yeast, apply anyway. We would rather hire for selection judgment and long-run discipline, and teach the organism.
