cho cell culture mammalian cell culture high-throughput laboratory automation

Our mission at Asimov is to advance humanity's ability to design living systems, enabling biotechnologies with outsized benefit to society. We're developing a mammalian synthetic biology platform––from cells to software––to enable the design and manufacture of next-generation therapeutics.

We are seeking a Research Associate, High-Throughput Processes (Contractor) to join our team on a 6 month contract in Boston, MA and help push the boundaries of high-throughput cell line engineering for biopharmaceuticals. In this lab-based role you will support day-to-day activities in CHO-based cell line engineering and screening, using high-throughput protocols and laboratory automation. In addition you will contribute to managing the data generated, using our laboratory information management tools. This is a unique opportunity to work at a nimble, forward-thinking synthetic biology startup and help build the future of biological engineering.

About the Role:

  • Perform CHO cell line transfection and culturing using plate-based high-throughput protocols and laboratory automation.
  • Use state-of-the-art instruments to perform various assays on cell pellets, culture supernatants, isolated DNA and RNA, such as cell viability, protein titer, nucleic acid quantification and flow cytometry.
  • Maintain comprehensive documentation of studies in an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN).
  • Record and maintain data and metadata in our Laboratory Information System (LIMS) to track every step of these processes.
  • Help identify bottlenecks and gaps in our processes to shape their development and improve workflows.
  • Contribute to projects on advanced genetic design for cell line engineering.
  • This role will begin as a full-time, 6 month contract. Dependent on business needs, there is potential for the contract to be extended or converted into a permanent position.

    • About You:

  • BS or MS in Biological Engineering, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology or related field.
  • 2+ years of experience with mammalian cell culture is required.
  • Previous experience with molecular biology assays and laboratory automation is preferred but not required.
  • You are adept in the use of spreadsheets such as Google Sheets or Excel. Basic coding experience is preferred but not required.
  • You have experience in executing detailed, multi-part processes that span the physical and digital world.

    • Additional Information

    We're fueled by a vision to transform biological engineering into a fully-fledged engineering discipline. Should you join our team, you will grow with a constantly evolving organization and push the frontiers of synthetic biology. Company culture is key to Asimov, and ours is a culture of recombination; we believe that our mission can only be achieved by bringing together a diverse team with a mixture of backgrounds and perspectives.
