Responsible for translating biochemistry workflows into laboratory automation processes. Develop and execute automated strain construction, cultivation, and assay protocols for high-throughput construction and screening of microbial libraries using laboratory automation robotics. Use laboratory data information systems, such as Benchling, to capture and track lab processes and experimental data. Use and write methods for automated capture, processing, and analysis of laboratory datasets. Work within an agile team to design and conduct scientific experiments to support multiple research projects. Interpret experimental results, and contribute to writing reports and presentations. Engage in troubleshooting, ideation, and collaborative problem solving of automation and experimental challenges. Ensure timely delivery of results to internal and external customers.
2 years of experience in the job offered or as a research associate/scientist in a laboratory environment. Requires knowledge of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZyme), enzymology, protein biochemistry, biological lab techniques, analytical instrumentation, statistical packages (JMP or R studio), and assay development (UV-VIS, fluorescent assays, or analytical chromatography) on liquid and solid substrates. Requires 2 years of hands-on laboratory experience to develop new chemical and biological assays to assess microbial phenotypes and enzyme performance, or characterize proteins from industrial host strains. Requires 1 year of hands-on experience writing new automation methods for liquid handling on Beckman Biomek or Hamilton systems.
