Job description

Title: Senior Scientist, 40 hours per week – SE002.

Location: White City, London, UK.

Compensation: £45-60,000 plus equity, pension, health insurance and free lunch

Posted date: May 28th, 2024.

Closing date: July 1st, 2024.

Start date: July 22nd , 2024, or before.

Company: Esox Biologics is a bio-tech company ensuring food security by improving the efficiency of aquaculture. We do this by preventing the spread of infectious diseases among aquatic animals. Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector yet aquatic veterinary medicine lacks innovative tools to detect and prevent the spread of aquatic pathogens. With more than ninety percent of aquatic microorganisms uncharacterised and undescribed by science, our Detect platform harnesses metagenomics to resolve this biological dark-matter and improve pathogen detection and prevention efforts for global aquaculture.

Role: We are hiring a Senior Scientist to join our Detect team for a full-time, lab-based roll. Our Detect platform enables clients to identify total microbiomes sampled from livestock and the environment surrounding each farm. Using shotgun metagenomics to resolve aquatic microbiomes, our Detect platform is the first to offer total microbiome resolution for aquatic veterinary medicine. We receive samples from a variety of environments in various forms and require total microbiomes to be extracted from each, preserving high-molecular weight nucleic acids, and ensuring maximum yields. You'll play a central role in developing our R&D strategy by designing and executing experiments to enhance the services we offer clients while developing robust protocols and SOPs for other team members to follow. You will be expected to work independently, managing your time effectively, ensuring your work aligns with wider company objectives. You will relay your findings to management regularly and support them in guiding our R&D strategy.

Team: Esox Biologics is tight-knit and highly collaborative team of scientists, engineers and communicators with a passion for translating innovative technologies into real-world solutions. Backed by private equity and generating revenue through our initial products, Esox Biologics is set to establish its position within aquatic veterinary medicine sector by transforming existing knowledge of aquatic microbiomes.

Responsibilities.

· R&D strategy: Support the development of our R&D strategy, designing and validating protocols and SOPs to enhance our existing services and develop new services while reducing operating costs.

· Sample preparation: Design protocols that optimise extracting high-molecular weight nucleic acid libraries from microbiomes within client samples.

· Lab management: Design SOPs and workflows for implementation within our lab and establish good laboratory practices while implementing and overseeing health and safety protocols.

· Collaboration with bioinformaticians: Work in close collaboration with the bioinformatics team to ensure the data generated during metagenomic sequencing experiments truly represents the community of microorganisms present within samples.

· Strategic Contribution to New Product Features: Actively contribute to the strategic planning and development of new product features, overseeing the journey from conceptualization to launch. This encompasses both leading innovative initiatives and enhancing existing functionalities to align with strategic business goals.

Requirements.

· Essential – PhD in Molecular Biology, Microbiology or equivalent with three years of relevant industry experience.

· Essential – A proven track-record in designing and executing peer-reviewed molecular biology experiments.

· Essential - Strong foundation next-generation sequencing with a proven track-record of designing NGS experimental workflows and implementing protocols.

· Essential - Excellent problem-solving skills, with a capacity for creative and innovative thinking in a collaborative research and development environment.

· Essential - Strong Independent work ethic.
