Interest in developing computational skills, including machine learning and lab automation (e.g., DoE).
Excellent molecular biology skills, including PCR, ELISA, and sequencing library prep.
  Education & Qualifications PhD or postdoctoral experience in Molecular or Cell Biology or a related field.
Prior experience in an industrial, entrepreneurial, or start-up environment is a plus.
  Compensation and Benefits Salary:  Highly competitive Benefits: Pension scheme, Health Insurance, Cycle-to-Work program, generous holiday allowance, semi-flexible working and employee stock ownership plan.
