Ginkgo’s mission is to make biology easier to engineer. We are constructing, editing, and redesigning the living world to answer the globe’s growing challenges in health, energy, food, materials, and more. Our bioengineers make use of an in-house automated foundry for designing and building new organisms. Today, our foundry is developing over 40 different organisms to make different products across multiple industries.
Ginkgo is continuously crossing new frontiers of biological engineering, and we have a record of delivering to our partners what was (until recently) thought impossible. Now, our expansion into mammalian cell engineering promises to push our boundaries even further, and so we’re looking for curious, creative, and driven pioneers in this field.
We’re searching for a highly skilled and motivated Scientist with expertise in RNA biology and biochemistry. A successful applicant can independently design and conduct research focused on process development of novel approaches and technologies to synthesize, manufacture and purify synthetic RNA for use in therapeutics in a high-throughput manner and at scale. You are familiar with how RNA secondary structure and topology affects both its generation (in vitro or in vivo) and its function. You can also perform biological techniques in order to generate and characterize RNA both in vitro and in cells. You are familiar with different RNA purification techniques and are well versed in chromatography of nucleic acids. You have demonstrated experience owning and delivering technical milestones on timeline. As a driven and organized team member, you are flexible and can adapt to the changing demands of a fast-paced environment. Internal Title will be a Mammalian Engineer 3.
