Essential Duties & Responsibilities:
The Cell Engineering group is recruiting a highly experienced Scientist, Molecular Biologist. This role will be responsible for molecular cloning of genetic devices for yeast, fungi and bacteria as well as conduct molecular evaluation of engineered strains using advanced DNA/RNA technologies. This scientist will add to the team's core capabilities in synthetic biology and their work will support multiple strain engineering projects.
- Develop finely engineered yeast, fungal and/or bacterial strains to produce commercial products.
- Establish molecular validation genetic toolkits (e.g., promoter and/or signal sequence libraries) to screen cells for better protein production and drive innovation with a flexible, forward-thinking approach.
- Identify new technologies in cell and metabolic engineering to increase the efficiency of constructing improved strains.
- Design and build base vectors for standard industrial organisms.
- Use commercial software for DNA design and analysis (e.g., Benching).
- Work with analytics and biochemistry teams to develop biochemical and cell-based assays for use in high-throughput screening.
- Independently designs experiments, applies new developments and implements novel procedures, protocols and/or processes.
- Communicates powerfully and proficiently their results, conclusions and recommendations to colleagues.
- Provide broad technical support to the Cell engineering, up- and downstream processing teams.
- Acquire and maintain relevant technical and intellectual expertise in Cell engineering, high-throughput biology and synthetic biology.
