Job Description
A Bit About Us:
We are Arcadia Science. Arcadia is a science company founded and led by scientists. Our mission is to transform evolutionary innovations into realworld solutions by openly developing more efficient replicable and sustainable ways to leverage the biology of diverse organisms.
The Opportunity:
We are seeking an experienced Molecular Biologist to join the Core Technologies team and collaborate with scientists across the organization. Core Technologies implements scientific tools and molecular techniques to solve biological research problems with a particular focus on mapping genotype phenotype relationships.
In this role youll spearhead our efforts in mutagenesis polymorphism targeted sequencing and molecular phenotype identification. You will lead molecular assay development translating pilot projects into robust systems accessible across the company.
Our evolutionary perspective spans the tree of life and youll help drive this vision by designing experiments and developing protocols tailored to diverse nontraditional model organisms. Youll design and optimize novel molecular workflows to interrogate genotypephenotype relationships with a focus on developing NGSbased assays beyond traditional shortread sequencing. More broadly youll serve as a molecular biology expert guiding decisionmaking and ensuring scientific rigor across experimental efforts.
The ideal candidate is a molecular biology expert with a strong foundation in both industry and academic settings. You bring a firstprinciples understanding of NGS and assay development along with a clear perspective on emerging innovations across the field. As a lead experimentalist youll independently design and drive projects while providing mentorship and strategic guidance to the team.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and execute protocols for mutagenesis and targeted sequencing of polymorphisms across a broad range of unicellular and multicellular organisms.
- Develop and implement quantitative and qualitative molecular assays to enable screening and functional characterization of diverse molecular phenotypes.
- Ensure quality of resulting datasets is appropriate for downstream applications and assays and processes are well documented and parameterized
- Independently troubleshoot challenges such as comparing orthologous techniques for capturing relevant genotypic data at higher throughput and lower cost
- Prepare RNA and DNA libraries for sequencing
- Automate or develop higher throughput strategies for recurring molecular biology workflows
- Project manage contract work with outside consultants CROs and sequencing vendors
- Manage and guide team performance and provide professional and technical mentorship
- Keep detailed experimental records and documentation (SOPs) for all workflows
- Synthesize ideas data and findings into fully openaccess pubs and engage with the scientific community to maximize impact and garner feedback that improves the work.
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Molecular Biology Developmental Biology Biochemistry or a related field
- At least 3 years of fulltime relevant scientific experience postPhD including leadership roles
- Handson technical experience in the following areas: mutagenesis PCR qPCR RTPCR NGS method development and library prep
- Ability to deeply analyze genomic variants and expression patterns and interpret their phenotypic impacts
- Deep knowledge of molecular assay development and cell line engineering
- Effective project management ability demonstrated by ability to scope work with key stakeholders create milestones and timelines identify blockers
- Ability to align team with crossfunctional goals and organize effective collaborations
- An excellent verbal and written science communicator for both general and technical audiences. We expect all scientists to actively draft and openly publish their lessons
Compensation:
Successful applicants can expect to be compensated between $130000$180000 with benefits and a highly competitive equity offering depending on experience level. The position will require the individual to be onsite at our Emeryville California headquarters.
Application Process:
Interested applicants should send a resume and a onepage cover letter that describes how the molecular biology techniques they are an expert in might advance our comparative evolutionary approach to research.
Arcadia Science is an equal opportunity workplace; we welcome people from all backgrounds and communities. We provide competitive compensation and practical benefits to keep you happy and healthy so that you can do your best work.
Please note that an offer of employment from Arcadia is contingent upon the successful clearance of a reference and background check.
