Job Description:
We seek highly-motivated individuals with the dedication, integrity, and creative spirit needed to thrive in an innovative company. Working at Arbor offers a unique opportunity that combines the fast pace and growth opportunities of a startup with the intellectual rigor and creativity of academia. Our salaries are competitive, our benefits are generous, and our team is exceptional.

Job Summary:

With rapidly decreasing DNA sequencing costs, we are able to look at the genomes of many organisms for the first time. At Arbor, you will be at the cutting edge of biodiscovery, systematically searching through nature’s gene diversity to discover and engineer new protein technologies for improving human health and sustainability. You will be expected to develop core information systems to tackle a wide range of problems, including 1) translating genetic search results into experimentally testable systems, 2) experimental design, tracking, and data analysis and 3) feedback of experimental results to our search engine. Our incredible scientific team is advancing the state of the art in high-throughput protein characterization with new technologies, and a desire to learn and contribute at every level is a huge plus.

Requirements:

We're looking for experienced engineers and top graduate students / post-docs with:

  • Strong engineering background in the development of data/information systems
