As our Strain Development Intern you will apply cutting-edge molecular cloning techniques in the context of metabolic engineering.
A Taste of What to Expect
Design and assembly of genetic constructs for strain engineering projects using molecular cloning techniques such as PCR DNA purification and plasmid assembly
Collaborate with the research team to optimise strain performance through metabolic engineering and pathway optimisation.
Support in conducting strain screening experiments to characterise the engineered strains using various analytical methods
Collect and analyse experimental data and contribute to the interpretation and presentation of results
Maintain accurate laboratory records prepare reports and present findings to the team
Contribute to a clean and safe laboratory working environment
The Perfect Recipe of Skills & Experience
Currently pursuing preferably a Masters degree in Biology Molecular Biology Biotechnology Biochemistry or a related field
Strong interest in strain/metabolic engineering genetics and synthetic biology
Experience with molecular biology techniques is a must such as PCR DNA cloning (ideally: Gibson Golden Gate). Additional proficiency in microbial culture techniques (sterile working cultivation) and basic laboratory practices is highly appreciated
Good analytical problem-solving and communication skills with attention to detail the ability to work in a structured manner and follow experimental protocols
Curious to excel beyond the mere performance of procedures with a strong desire to interpret and explain scientific observations
NB: This internship opportunity must be linked to a mandatory internship through a university.
