GBI Translational Platform

We are seeking skilled Translational Scientists to help translate foundational work from GBI into real-world applications within the GBI Translational Platform. Our platform aims to leverage an orthogonal replication system for the accelerated evolution of commercially relevant proteins. This is an opportunity to join at an early stage and play a meaningful role in shaping both our science and culture.

In this role, you will design, execute and troubleshoot wet-lab experiments, and develop robust, reproducible, and scalable experimental workflows. You will contribute both practically and intellectually to the research direction of our Translational Platform. You will also mentor and support laboratory technicians, helping to foster continuous knowledge-sharing across the lab.

Requirements

Key Requirements

• MSc or PhD in molecular biology, synthetic biology, biotechnology, microbiology, or a related field;
• Strong wet-lab experience, particularly in molecular cloning and bacterial genome editing;
• Be highly organized, structured, and self-motivated;
• Be a collaborative team player with strong interpersonal skills.
