About the role
- We're closing the gap between biological data and biological understanding.
- Read more about our work through our publications.
- We are seeking a Protein Designer to join our Validation team.
Responsibilities
- Our Validation team does this by closing the design-build-test-learn loop through lab validation across diverse organisms.
Requirements
- PhD or equivalent experience in biochemistry, biophysics, bioengineering, or related field
- At least 3 years post-PhD or equivalent experience in a related position
- Experience with validation, design-build-test-learn loops, or something similar
- Experience with protein biology, biochemistry, or cell biology to inform protein expression and purification, assay development, experimental design, etc.
- Experience in at least one programming language and experience with relevant libraries
- Experience working with cross-functional teams with different working styles and types of expertise
- Our ideal candidate should have deep knowledge of proteins and how they function in a cellular context, as well as hands-on experience related to running design-build-test-learn loops.
- Enthusiasm and participation in open science is also required as we routinely share our findings via our open-source pubs.
- Deep understanding of protein function in the cell, biology, and structure and how these might be useful for protein design
- Familiarity with SOTA protein analysis and design tools (e.g., ESM, Rosetta, etc.)
- High level of autonomy and critical thinking skills
