Full Job Description
We are seeking a Research Associate to join our Cell Line Development team on a 6 month contract to help push the boundaries of biotherapeutic cell line development. In this role, you will conduct CHO-based cell line engineering and screening to produce human therapeutics. In addition, you will execute synthetic biology studies and new technology evaluations to continuously innovate our workflows and expression platform. This is a unique opportunity to work at a nimble, forward-thinking synthetic biology startup and help build the future of biological engineering.

About the role
  • Perform CHO cell line development processes including transfection, cloning, characterization, and cell banking using state-of-the-art equipment.
  • Complete comprehensive documentation of studies in an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN).
  • Work with scientists to optimize workflows across clone screening, transfection, small-scale assays, and product quality assessment.
  • Contribute to innovation focused on the development of novel cell line development workflows and applications.
  • This role will begin as a full-time, 6 month contract. Dependent on business needs, there is potential for the contract to be extended or converted into a permanent position.

About you
  • You have a bachelor's or master's degree in Biological Engineering, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Chemical Engineering or a related field.
  • You have at least 1 year experience culturing mammalian cells.
  • Being detail-oriented isn't just a sound bite for you, it's part of your DNA. Keeping track of a bunch of moving parts is easy for you because you're highly organized. It's not your first time following a standardized workflow or pipeline.
  • You value teamwork and are motivated to contribute to the team's goals. Working as part of a highly integrated research team is exciting to you.
  • You're a creative problem solver and get excited about the opportunity to drive the creation of industry-disruptive technology.
  • Don't let this stop you from applying, but it's a plus if you are familiar with transfections, antibody/protein expression, cell culture liquid handling automation, ambr bioreactors, and/or ddPCR.
