Role Title: Developmental Biologist
Salary: £30,000 – £35,000
Location: Corsham Science Park
Cellular Agriculture Ltd produces technology that aims to make cultivated meat a widely available, sustainable, ethical, affordable protein alternative.
We are passionate about food security with an enthusiasm for next-generation solutions, innovative technologies, sustainability, and the future of food and agriculture, and are looking for like-minded people to join our growing team. The company integrates activities across a Research and Development Department responsible for innovating, an Engineering Department that delivers scaled iterations of bioreactors and bioprocess, and the Operations Department responsible for ensuring the company runs smoothly. These Departments work seamlessly together towards delivering technology that allows a sustainable alternative protein to diversify food stuffs for food security across the world.
We are committed to being an inclusive workplace. We strongly believe in the benefits a diverse team brings and having an equitable culture in which all our people can thrive, with everyone being able to influence our day-to-day working for the better and encouraging growth.
What this role entails:
To provide developmental biological knowledge to aid in increasing protein yield from multiple different cell lines; as well as improving differentiation efficiency. In addition to cell and media work, you will be responsible for conducting a range of molecular biology techniques working with colleagues from across a range of disciplines. Contribute positively to the company culture and community. Objectives:
Perform cell proliferation and differentiation studies using a range of cell lines and material scaffolds to direct bioreactor design requirements. Improve and develop solutions for maximising protein yield in bioreactors. Utilising analytical methods to assess biological functions within cell culture systems e.g. metabolism, immunocytochemistry, RNA extraction, reverse transcription, qPCR, protein isolation, Western blot. Use developmental biological knowledge to improve differentiation protocols of different cell types and species. Growing cells in different conditions for growth kinetics optimisation e.g. media development. Perform bioreactor runs, growing and monitoring our cells in our novel bioreactors. Selection Criteria:
Experience:
Biological Degree Delivering for an organisation:
Worked in mammalian cell culture with a strong developmental biological knowledge. Team working:
Demonstrable ability to work with a diverse range of people, working towards a common goal in a multi-disciplinary environment. Expertise: Essential:
Biological degree, Experienced at cell culture. Preferable:
Experienced in analytical techniques (PCR, Western, ICC), Experience using bioreactors, Knowledge of the cultivated meat industry. The Benefits:
In addition to working in a world-class facility based in the Bath region with a supporting and inclusive team, you will receive a highly competitive base salary, share options in a growing biotech enterprise, competitive holiday allowance and a fantastic benefits package including pension, Bupa medical cover and life assurance. You will have access to world-class training, development, and networking with organisations across cellular agriculture and food systems. Closing date:
Sunday 12th January Onsite interviews to be held:
Thursday 23rd January When Applying:
Please include a cover letter detailing your experience and why you wish to apply for this role. Please note that this role is not sponsorable and that applicants should have the right to work in the UK.
