Company : Synthetic Genomics Inc. Country : Role : Research Scientist
Job Description:
At Synthetic Genomics, Inc., we are dedicated to developing and commercializing genomic-driven solutions to address global challenges. We are currently seeking a Scientist/ Scientist II to join our Strain Discovery group in a dynamic and collaborative team in La Jolla, CA.
The Scientist will apply knowledge and learnings of photophysiology with the synthetic biology tools developed at Synthetic Genomics to achieve productivity and knowledge deliverables leading to commercially viable algae for the production of fuel and chemicals. The successful candidate will have extensive experience in photophysiology and significant exposure to microbial molecular biology, protein biochemistry, transcriptomics, proteomics and bioinformatics data analysis.
Requirements
Required Skills:
-The Scientist will work with their supervisor and team of other scientists contributing significant intellectual input into the design of experiments, employing advanced photophysiological techniques to provide in-house expertise on the light reactions of photosynthetic light reactions.
-Carefully execute laboratory experiments, including growth of photosynthetic microbes under meticulously defined conditions, sampling and extraction of nucleic acids and proteins, including subcellular fractionation of eukaryotic alge.
-Work closely with bioinformaticians to analyze and compare large data sets from various advanced omics experiments, summarize and present data and independently re-design further hypothesis-driven experiments exploiting extracted information.
-Employ molecular tools to generate and characterize recombinant strains of eukaryotic algae.
-Contribute significantly to overall success of science program(s), on-going projects, critical patents, grants or scientific publications.
-Instruct and provide guidance to Sr. Research Associates and Research Associates.
-Consistently demonstrate initiative in implementing projects and/or necessary work.
Required Experience:
-Requires a Ph.D. in Phycology, Microbiology, Plant Biology, or a related field and 0-4 years of relevant postdoctoral or industrial experience.
-Broad and detailed experience with photobiology, photosynthetic processes and techniques for monitoring photosynthesis (chlorophyll fluorescence, gas exchange, etc).
-Working knowledge and experience with modern nucleic acid sequence analysis and other bioinformatics tools is required.
-Must possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills to facilitate interactions with a highly interdisciplinary team.
-Experience working with eukaryotic algae or other microbial photo-autotrophs is an advantage.
