Job Description

We’re engineering enzymes to degrade microplastics using AI + high-throughput molecular biology. Join the Laboratory for RNA-Based Lifeforms on one of the largest projects in bioinformatics today. Building on Serratus (10× RNA virus discovery, Nature 2022), we’re now developing Logan to mine planetary-scale genomics datasets to evolve and test novel plastic-degrading enzymes. Looking for: PhD in Molecular/Synthetic Biology, Biochemistry, or Genetics. Strong skills in yeast/bacterial systems, enzyme assays, or metabolic engineering. Interest in automation, robotics, and collaboration with AI and Computational Biology scientists. Full-time postdoc in Toronto, Canada. Start date: flexible/immediate.
