Scientist II - Senior Scientist – Animal Cell Lines

Want to help drive a revolution in synthetic biology? Triplebar's breakthrough products touch every aspect of our daily lives, from food to medicine to materials. We envision a future where biology allows us to feed, heal, and house ourselves in a sustainable and scalable way.

We’re looking for an innovative Scientist (all levels) to join our early stage startup. You’ll have the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, diverse, multidisciplinary team and work to develop world-class technology to revolutionize synthetic biology!

We are looking for a talented Scientist to lead our efforts to develop animal cell lines across the breadth of our product portfolio. In our food and nutrition portfolio, we develop animal cell lines to provide sustainable nutrition globally. You’ll own the technical development of projects, and will be a key intellectual and practical driver of these ideas within the company. You will work closely with our diverse technical team of Scientists and Engineers to develop novel assays and development strategies. In addition, you will interface with both the commercial part of our team as well as external partners.

• 2+ years of post academic specialized research in engineering and improving mammalian or other animal cell lines
• Experience successfully running projects developing cell lines for applications such as tissue engineering, biologics production, or drug screening
• Scientific curiosity and a desire to be primarily in the lab

Preferred Skills and Background

• Experience working in a start-up environment, where you’ve operated with a high level of ownership and collaboration in a fast-paced culture
• Experience in an Agile Development environment that values self-motivated teams and frequent iteration tightly linked to customer needs
• Experience developing culturing, screening or other analytical approaches for mammalian cells in a microfluidics environment
• Familiarity with scale-up and manufacturing of animal cell-based products
