Specialist - Molecular Biology

Role : Specialist - Molecular Biology

Job Location : Miyapur, Hyderabad

Qualification : PhD / Postdoc in Molecular Biology / Biotechnology with 2 to 6 Years of experience.

What You'll Do :

As a Specialist in our Molecular Biology team, you will :

Design and Execute Projects : Independently design and execute a variety of molecular biology strategies to produce engineered antibodies, enzymes, structural and reagent proteins, and mutant strains.

Lead with Expertise : Utilize your deep knowledge in areas like gene synthesis, cloning, vector design, and mutagenesis. Experience with CRISPR-based prokaryotic mutants, antibody gene sequencing, and protein engineering is essential.

Innovate and Problem-Solve : Apply your expertise in sequence data analysis, gene expression (using Real-time PCR), and protein engineering to solve complex challenges.

Manage End-to-End Processes : Oversee the entire process from plasmid production and purification to strain and metabolic engineering. Experience with microbial, yeast, and fungal strains is highly valued.

Lead and Mentor : Lead and motivate a team of molecular biologists, setting high standards for technical content, R&D, and data integrity.

Collaborate and Communicate : Work effectively with cross-functional teams, senior management, and clients to present data, share project updates, and ensure project success.

What We're Looking For :

Technical Skills & Experience :

Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or Life Sciences.

2-3 years of hands-on industrial or academic experience.

Proven experience in designing and executing complex molecular biology projects.

In-depth knowledge of gene synthesis, cloning, and vector design.

Experience in generating CRISPR-based mutants in prokaryotes is a must.

Expertise in sequence data analysis and gene expression analysis (Real-time PCR).

Experience with plasmid production and chromatographic purification is desirable.

Knowledge of Phage / Yeast display libraries is a plus.

Familiarity with automation and high-throughput instrumentation is preferred.

Non-Technical Skills :

Leadership : Proven ability to lead and motivate a team, manage projects independently, and make timely, cost-effective decisions.

Communication : Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex scientific concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, including senior management and clients.

Adaptability : A "can-do" attitude with the flexibility to occasionally work weekends and contribute to the team's success.

Attention to Detail : Meticulous in documentation, data compilation, and maintaining high standards for safety and data integrity.

Results-Oriented : A proactive approach to problem-solving and a strong drive to achieve project objectives within deadlines.
