Mammalian Synthetic Biologist - Immunology
Description:
This person will lead Serotiny’s capabilities for immunology by inventing novel synthetic proteins and collaborating with software developers to deploy creative protein design methodologies.
The infrastructure is part of a design/build/test loop that couples a finely tuned software architecture with wet-lab mammalian synthetic biology. Serotiny is looking for our first synthetic biologist who is excited to utilize Serotiny’s novel software architecture to invent CAR-T systems for immunotherapies.
Role:
- Design and evaluate novel immunologically relevant protein constructs
- Efficiently identify and analyze constructs used in scientific literature
- Design experiments to test the functionality of novel proteins in mammalian systems
- Collaborate with software engineers to develop the design and analysis methodologies
- Manage a synthetic biology lab
- Direct protein design for immunology projects
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in molecular biology or Ph.D. with equivalent experience in synthetic biology
- Direct experience with synthetic proteins relevant to immunotherapies (CARs, TCRs, etc.)
- Expertise in mammalian synthetic biology
- Desire to manage a lab
- Flexibility and desire to work at the early stages of a startup
Perks
- Full health benefits
- Budget to host and attend biology conferences/meetups
- Opportunities to research and publish cutting edge synthetic biology
- Opportunity to invent new proteins and design methodologies
