Ideal candidate

Experimental synthetic biologist who blends quantitative thinking with benchwork and loves building robust screening platforms. Curious, collaborative and self-driven, you care about data quality and tackling difficult targets like membrane proteins.

Requirements

• PhD in synthetic/systems biology, bioengineering or related field with 0-1 year experience, or BS/MS with 6+ years relevant experience
• Hands-on experience designing and running pooled binding screens using purified proteins and cell-based assays
• Experience designing and building pooled DNA libraries and using NGS to track enrichment
• Ability to interpret complex screening data and script in Python or similar language
• Cell-line engineering via CRISPR, lentiviral or transposon methods and membrane protein experience preferred for one role
