Job Description
Molecular Biologist (Graduate)
Location: Cambridge
Contract: Full-time and permanent
Sector: Biotechnology
Salary: £25,000 - £26,000
Our client is an innovative biotechnology company based outside of the centre of Cambridge. They run their own gene therapy portfolio and have built a platform to synthesise gene constructs which provides exciting possibilities for ensuring cheaper, faster and more accurate DNA / gene constructs than traditional plasmid-based methods. In a key phase of their growth, our client is looking to onboard a competent scientist in the field of molecular biology and construct generation on a full-time and permanent basis.
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity for a Scientist who has experience in molecular cloning and gene assembly (Golden Gate, Gibson assembly, Hifi) and potentially software like Benchling / SnapGene etc. If you are looking for the next step in their career then this opportunity could be for you. As a Scientist within the molecular biology team you will be responsible for:
* Working on a range of molecular biology projects relating to synthetic DNA process development.
* Use of techniques including: DNA cloning (Gibson assembly, HiFi, Golden Gate cloning), primer design, PCR, restriction enzyme digests, plasmid purification, E. coli transformation, gel electrophoresis and synthetic biology)
* Keep a comprehensive and up-to-date record of experiments and data/results
* Plan, refine and complete experiments which align with overall project plans.
* Work individually and collaboratively within the R&D teams.
* Attend departmental meetings and training sessions
Skills and Experience Needed
