Our mission at Asimov is to advance humanity's ability to design living systems, enabling biotechnologies with outsized benefit to society. We're developing a mammalian synthetic biology platform––from cells to software––to enable the design and manufacture of next-generation therapeutics.
We are seeking a full-time Scientist or Senior Scientist for the Priority Cloning Team within DNA & Strain Construction group to help advance our DNA assembly pipeline and support key company initiatives. The ideal candidate is passionate about and has expertise in a variety of cloning techniques, is driven by workflow optimization towards efficient and timely delivery, and thrives in a collaborative environment. This is a unique opportunity to work at a nimble, forward-thinking synthetic biology startup and help build the foundation for biological engineering.
As part of the Priority Cloning Team you will:
- Drive DNA assembly / troubleshooting strategies and plasmid delivery for high-priority customer facing projects using manual workflows as well as our state-of-the-art automation
- Work closely with other team members, and the high-throughput DNA construction team to optimize workflows and advance the team capabilities
- Create experimental workflows and collect quantitative measurements to guide key development directions and advancement of the overall assembly pipeline
- Collaborate frequently with the Cell Line Development, Synthetic Biology and Software Development teams to support key development areas
- Communicate methods and results with other scientists, industry experts, and academic researchersDrive data organization
About You:
- You have a Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Biological Engineering, or a related field5+ years of experience doing research in an academic or industry lab setting
- Expertise in DNA assembly techniques, plasmid design, all aspects of DNA construction, scale up and QCStrong communication, presentation and organizational skills and attention to detail
- Ability to work both independently and in a collaborative team environment
- Experience with GMP regulation, automation, NGS data analysis and/or using scripting tools (e.g., Python, Matlab, or R) to analyze results are a plus
We're fueled by a vision to transform biological engineering into a fully-fledged engineering discipline. Should you join our team, you will grow with a constantly evolving organization and push the frontiers of synthetic biology. Company culture is key to Asimov, and ours is a culture of recombination; we believe that our mission can only be achieved by bringing together a diverse team with a mixture of backgrounds and perspectives.
