Current Openings

Lab Technician

We are seeking a Laboratory Technician to lead the application of high-throughput genomics for genome sequencing, regulatory network mapping, and functional screening. See job description.

Postdoctoral Associate - Biosensor Development

We are engineering optical and electronic sensors derived from microbial proteins.  We are seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to work within our Biosensor Engineering efforts. See job description.

Postdoctoral Associate - High-Throughput Screening

We have developed a platform to identify and isolate microbial sensing proteins for virtually any target analyte, that we then develop into electronic sensors. We are seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to work within our High-throughput Functional and Metagenomic screening efforts. See job description.

Undergraduate Researcher - Screening

We have multiple openings for undergraduate research associates to work with our high-throughput screening team. Students will gain experience in molecular biology, flow-cytometry, and next-generation sequencing.

Undergraduate Researcher - Genomics

We have multiple openings for undergraduate research associates to work with our genomics team. Students will gain experience in all aspects of next-generation genomics - from experimental methods to data analysis.
