Scientist I, Discovery

What you'll do

• Designs, builds, tests, validates, and engineers novel gene-editing proteins and tools.
• Builds plasmid libraries and scalable cloning workflows; quantifies editing outcomes using molecular and sequencing assays.
• Optimizes activity and specificity in human primary cells and cell lines, and helps establish lab documentation and SOPs.

What they ask for

• PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, bioengineering, or a life-sciences-related field, or an MSc with equivalent hands-on laboratory experience.
• Experience with gene editing, NGS assay development, protein engineering, and cell therapy.
• Experience with high-throughput cloning and DNA-construct production for cellular screening; mammalian cell culture, transfection, and cell-line generation.
• Expertise in DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, ddPCR, NGS library preparation and QC; knowledge of gene-editing technologies and on/off-target analytics.

Nice to have

• Experience contributing to a preclinical cell therapy program; flow cytometry expertise.
• Experience integrating AI protein design tools with high-throughput wet-lab screening; NGS instrumentation, bioinformatics, or traceable data pipelines.
