- This role provides a unique opportunity to impact the development of research and development strategies at an early-stage biotechnology company.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and test microbial biosensors for target molecules of interest
- Develop biosensors for target molecules with no known regulators using RNA-sequencing and genome-mining approaches
- Collaborate with Microbiology team to identify synthetic biology solutions to support successful biosensor deployment in the target environment
- Document processes, SOPs, and results in an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) system
Requirements
- Ph.D. (or equivalent) in Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Microbiology (or related field) and a minimum of 2+ years of industry experience
- Demonstrated success in microbial engineering with a proven track record of sensor development, preferably with experience engineering microbes for function outside of a lab environment
- Depth of knowledge of current technologies used for identifying and screening novel microbial biosensors, including transcriptomics- and bioinformatics-based approaches
- Expertise in DNA design and assembly of complex plasmids
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and outside-of-the-box thinking
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks simultaneously
- Excellent verbal and written communication
- Versatile and flexible scientist who thrives in a fast-paced and collaborative lab environment
Nice to have
- Experience with engineering non-model microbes and engineering microbes for function in complex non-lab environments is a plus
