About the role
Ansa is seeking a Research Associate to join our R&D team and support both early-stage product development and process development. You will work at the bench executing experiments alongside our scientists, troubleshooting molecular biology workflows, and help bring ideas into robust, scalable processes. This is a hands-on role where priorities can shift quickly. You’ll need to be ready to roll up your sleeves and execute rapidly on high-priority items.
What they're looking for
- BS or MS in molecular biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, or a related field
- 1–3 years of hands-on laboratory experience (academic or industry)
- Strong foundational skills in DNA cloning, manipulation, and analysis
- Experience with protein purification and characterization techniques
- Meticulous attention to detail in experimental execution and documentation
- A proactive, can-do attitude. You’re ready to jump in and execute wherever the work takes you, adapting quickly as priorities shift
More about this role
Our mission at Ansa Biotechnologies is to revolutionize the way we make DNA. Compared to reading or editing life’s code, writing new code from scratch has remained one of the field’s most elusive challenges. At Ansa, we are putting nature to work, creating novel enzymatic solutions that will redefine how we build DNA. We believe that the biggest challenges our world faces will be solved using biotechnology and that DNA synthesis is the fuel for that transformation. Our enzyme-based approach (published in Nature Biotechnology ) promises to dramatically accelerate innovation in biological research and biotechnology, including therapeutics, diagnostics, biomanufacturing, and synthetic biology. We look forward to our DNA products making an impact.
