About the Role

We're looking for a skilled Lab Technician to join our Biology team. You'll run our molecular biology and protein production workflows — cloning, transformation, expression, and purification — keeping high-quality, reproducible output flowing to support our protein engineering pipeline. You'll work hands-on with automation and liquid handling, helping turn manual protocols into reliable, high-throughput processes.

Responsibilities

Perform molecular cloning workflows: PCR, Golden Gate and Gibson assembly, transformation, and colony screening.
Run protein expression across bacterial and/or mammalian systems, and carry out protein purification and quality control.
Execute QC of constructs and proteins (gel/capillary electrophoresis, Sanger sequencing, SDS-PAGE, and related assays).
Run biophysical and functional characterization assays — binding kinetics, thermostability, and related readouts — to assess expressed proteins, and help bring new assays online and optimize them for throughput.
Prepare reagents, buffers, and reaction mixes according to established SOPs.
Operate and support automated liquid handling and lab automation where workflows are automated.
Track samples, inventory, and consumables to keep lab operations running uninterrupted.
Document experimental parameters and results to ensure reproducibility, traceability, and data integrity.
