Research Associate, Strain Build
Work Location: Mountain View, CA 94043 (On site)
6 months contact Project Overview
We are focused on enabling our partners to achieve the biomanufacturing revolution. We are seeking a skilled Research Associate to join our strain engineering effort.
The RoleAs a Research Associate in Strain Build , you will be a core member of the laboratory team, responsible for the hands-on design, build, and validation of engineered microbial strains for internal model data generation and partnered projects. You will work closely with RAs, scientists and engineers to execute high-throughput workflows and ensure the highest quality of molecular biology outputs.
Key ResponsibilitiesStrain Design: Starting from high level design objectives, create construct maps and build strategies for the desired strain designs.
Strain Engineering: Execute and optimize complex strain construction workflows using modern molecular biology techniques (e.g., Gibson assembly, Golden Gate, CRISPR/Cas9, etc.).
Laboratory Operations: Execute high-throughput cloning, DNA preparation, and microbial transformations.
Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve technical challenges within the strain-build pipeline to ensure project timelines are met.
Data Management: Meticulously document experimental protocols and results in Electronic Lab Notebooks (e.g. Benchling) and internal databases.
Process Improvement: Collaborate with the team to refine standard operating procedures (SOPs) for increased efficiency and reproducibility.
Qualifications Minimum QualificationsEducation: B.S. or M.S. in Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, Microbiology, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
Industrial Experience: 3 plus years of professional experience in an industrial setting specifically focused on strain build/engineering.
Technical Mastery: Proven proficiency in microbial culturing ( E. coli or S. cerevisiae) , molecular cloning, and genomic integration techniques.
Precision: High attention to detail with a track record of executing complex protocols with minimal error.
Preferred QualificationsAutomation: Experience using liquid handling robots (e.g., Agilent Bravo, Tecan) and automated plate readers.
Microbial Diversity: Experience working with microbial hosts beyond E. coli or S. cerevisiae .
Digital Fluency: Advanced experience with Benchling or similar LIMS for strain and sample management and molecular biology tools such as Geneious.
