Qualification

What You'll Do:

As a Specialist in our Molecular Biology team, you will:

• Design and Execute Projects:

  Independently design and execute a variety of molecular biology strategies to produce engineered antibodies, enzymes, structural and reagent proteins, and mutant strains.

• Lead with Expertise:

  Utilize your deep knowledge in areas like gene synthesis, cloning, vector design, and mutagenesis. Experience with CRISPR-based prokaryotic mutants, antibody gene sequencing, and protein engineering is essential.

• Innovate and Problem-Solve:

  Apply your expertise in sequence data analysis, gene expression (using Real-time PCR), and protein engineering to solve complex challenges.

• Manage End-to-End Processes:

  Oversee the entire process from plasmid production and purification to strain and metabolic engineering. Experience with microbial, yeast, and fungal strains is highly valued.

• Lead and Mentor:

  Lead and motivate a team of molecular biologists, setting high standards for technical content, R&D, and data integrity.

• Collaborate and Communicate:

  Work effectively with cross-functional teams, senior management, and clients to present data, share project updates, and ensure project success.

What We're Looking For:

Technical Skills & Experience:

• Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or Life Sciences.
• 2-3 years of hands-on industrial or academic experience.
• Proven experience in designing and executing complex molecular biology projects.
• In-depth knowledge of gene synthesis, cloning, and vector design.
• Experience in generating CRISPR-based mutants in prokaryotes is a must.
• Expertise in sequence data analysis and gene expression analysis (Real-time PCR).
• Experience with plasmid production and chromatographic purification is desirable.
• Knowledge of Phage/Yeast display libraries is a plus.
• Familiarity with automation and high-throughput instrumentation is preferred.

Non-Technical Skills:

• Leadership:

  Proven ability to lead and motivate a team, manage projects independently, and make timely, cost-effective decisions.

• Communication:

  Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex scientific concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, including senior management and clients.

• Adaptability:

  A "can-do" attitude with the flexibility to occasionally work weekends and contribute to the team's success.

• Attention to Detail:

  Meticulous in documentation, data compilation, and maintaining high standards for safety and data integrity.

• Results-Oriented:

  A proactive approach to problem-solving and a strong drive to achieve project objectives within deadlines.
