• Design and build yeast strains containing heterologous metabolic pathways and/or loss-of-function mutations.
• Deploy state-of-the-art genome editing technologies to efficiently build new yeast strains.
• Design experiments, analyze and interpret data, and report findings on strain performance to link genotype to phenotype.
• Further optimize strain engineering methods to accelerate Design-Build-Test-Learn cycles.
• Analyze and interpret NGS genomic sequencing results (e.g., DNA-seq, RNA-seq).
• Collaborate with automation scientists to transfer manual bench-scale experiments to high-throughput robotic platforms.
• Maintain detailed notes in Benchling ELN/LIMS to enable data sharing and collaboration across project teams.
• Contribute to a team-oriented, positive and safe work environment.

• Ph.D. in molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology (or related field) or M.Sc. degree with 5+ years industry experience.
• An understanding of yeast and/or microbial molecular genetics, cell biology and physiology.
• A track record of using 96 well plate methods for molecular cloning and/or biochemical assays.
• Experience interpreting genetic, molecular biology and biochemistry data.
• Ability to use bioinformatics and sequence analysis tools (familiarity with Python or R is desirable).
• Working knowledge of bio-based production and fermentation key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Ability to generate, organize, analyze and interpret large datasets.
• Demonstrated success working within inter-disciplinary team.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills with both technical and non-technical personnel.
