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.
