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.
