  • The thrill of building groundbreaking technology, indicating a passion for innovation and advancement.
  • Curiosity and a desire to turn scientific ideas into a reality, demonstrating your creative thinking and problem-solving skills.

You will also need to be able to:

  • Thrive in a changing but supportive environment, showing adaptability and resilience.
  • Work collaboratively in small, cross-disciplinary teams, demonstrating strong teamwork and interpersonal skills.
  • Plan and execute experiments with support from senior researchers, indicating your initiative and ability to work under mentorship.

Ideally, we are looking for someone with:

  • A BS or MS in biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related discipline, coupled with ideally 1+ years of lab experience, showcasing a strong academic and practical background.
  • Experience following protocols and executing experiments in a molecular biology lab, indicating solid practical lab skills.
  • Experience performing in vitro nucleic acid-based techniques such as PCR, qPCR, gel electrophoresis, enzymatic treatment, and/or sequencing library prep, demonstrating a range of technical competencies.
  • Demonstrated eagerness and ability to quickly learn new techniques, reflecting a proactive and open mindset.
  • Strong organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills, indicating your ability to work effectively within a team and manage multiple tasks.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary, and rapidly growing biotech environment, demonstrating your ability to adapt and succeed in a dynamic context.

At CATALOG, we challenge you to think critically, work creatively, and conquer uncharted problems in a groundbreaking field. We believe in building an inclusive team with different points of view. We support and celebrate diversity in our workforce. We offer competitive compensation packages, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company matching, and generous PTO.
