Difficult protein production made simple. A next-generation expression system for next-generation therapeutics. Backed by SOSV.
About the role
We are seeking a motivated Research Associate II or Senior Research Associate to join our Automation/Cell Line Development (CLD) team, with a focus on laboratory automation and high-throughput workflows. In this role, you will develop and optimize automated workflows to support cell line development, contribute to pipeline projects, and conduct experiments to improve the performance of our optogenetic Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Designing and Executing Experiments : Developing and proposing experimental plans, conducting experiments, and troubleshooting analytical techniques and methodologies
- Work Style : The candidate is expected to precisely follow protocols, design and execute experiments independently, and manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced setting
- Experience with cell line development workflows (pool generation, clonal isolation, stability testing)
- Experience with automation systems used during CLD processes (scripting experience on the Tecan or Hamilton would be an added plus)
- Exposure to high-throughput screening platforms (e.g., Beacon, Ambr, Octet, Cedex, and other regularly used Automation systems)
- Experience with molecular cloning and molecular biology techniques (PCR, protein quantification)
