    Opportunity: Research Assistant in Systems Biology/Bioinformatics @ DTU Biosustain -- Lyngby, Greater Copenhagen, Denmark
    Submitted by Signatur AS; posted on Friday, July 09, 2021

    BACKGROUND

    We are seeking a talented and driven Research Assistant to work on yeast systems biology as part of our projects on high throughput protein and genome engineering. The candidate will join the Cell Architecture Group (PI Ryan T. Gill) at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability (CFB) in Denmark.

    The Cell Architecture Group is developing cellular engineering technologies based on high-throughput and multiplexed genome editing (CRISPR) for a wide range of downstream applications from industrial biotech to cell therapies. We operate under a design-build-test-learn philosophy and have a strong focus on commercialization of technology developed in the group. The CFB is part of the Technical University of Denmark and provides a world-class research environment with state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technologies with special emphasis on cell factory engineering and systems biology technologies.

    RESPONSIBILITIES & TASKS

    The candidate will focus on designing and implementing CRISPR-based libraries in yeast.
