At the Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT), we're on a mission to translate scientific discovery into real world impact. We bring together visionary scientists, technologists, engineers, researchers, educators and innovators to tackle humanity's greatest challenges in four transformative areas: Health, Medical Science & Generative Biology Food Security & Sustainable Agriculture Climate Change & Managing CO Artificial Intelligence & Robotics This is ambitious work - work that demands curiosity, courage, and a relentless drive to make a difference. At EIT, you'll join a community built on excellence, innovation, tenacity, trust, and collaboration, where bold ideas become real world breakthroughs. Together, we push boundaries, embrace complexity, and create solutions to scale ideas from lab to society. Welcome to the Generative Biology Institute Led by Founding Director Jason Chin, the Generative Biology Institute (GBI) at the Ellison Institute of Technology is tackling the key challenges in making biology engineerable, and thereby unlocking the unrivalled power of biology for the benefit of humanity. The vision of the GBI is to lay the foundations for engineering biology, and unlock its potential for good. To achieve this, we must overcome two key challenges. First, we need the ability to write in the natural language of biology, enabling the rapid and scalable synthesis of entire genomes with precision. Second, we must understand what to write - determining which DNA sequences will generate biological systems that perform the desired functions. Addressing these challenges will allow us to harness the full power of biology to create transformative solutions across health, agriculture, clean energy and more. The Generative Biology Institute commenced operations in 2025, occupying newly renovated bespoke space in the Oxford Science Park. The team will later move to a purpose made facility in the Oxford Science Park, currently under construction. Once complete, this state of the art facility will include more than 40,000 m of research laboratory and office space. It will house over 30 groups and up to 600 employees at scale, focused on solving the two critical challenges in making biology engineerable and applying the solutions to addressing the global challenges encapsulated in EIT's Humane Endeavours. GBI Translational Platform We are seeking skilled Translational Scientists to help translate foundational work from GBI into real world applications within the GBI Translational Platform. Our platform aims to leverage an orthogonal replication system for the accelerated evolution of commercially relevant proteins. This is an opportunity to join at an early stage and play a meaningful role in shaping both our science and culture. In this role, you will design, execute and troubleshoot wet lab experiments, and develop robust, reproducible, and scalable experimental workflows. You will contribute both practically and intellectually to the research direction of our Translational Platform. You will also mentor and support laboratory technicians, helping to foster continuous knowledge sharing across the lab. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. In your cover letter, please clearly explain your fit, interest, and relevant experience for joining the GBI Translational Platform. All applications must be submitted exclusively through the EIT job portal. If you would like to discuss this role in more detail prior to submitting an application, please contact Cyril Schroeder at . Ideal candidates are hands on, proactive, and excited about translating basic science into commercial applications. Key Requirements MSc or PhD in molecular biology, synthetic biology, biotechnology, microbiology, or a related field Strong wet lab experience, particularly in molecular cloning and bacterial genome editing Be highly organized, structured, and self motivated Be a collaborative team player with strong interpersonal skills What we offer Cutting edge science and competitive salaries. Brand new laboratories with state of the art equipment. The opportunity to grow quickly within an inclusive and collaborative environment. Our Benefits Salary: Competitive + travel allowance + bonus Enhanced holiday pay Pension Life Assurance Income Protection Private Medical Insurance Hospital Cash Plan Therapy Services Perk Box Electric Car Scheme Working Together - What It Involves You must be eligible to work in the UK with a willingness to travel as necessary. We are open to sponsoring employment visas for this role; however sponsorship is not available for all visa types or in all circumstances. Eligibility will be assessed on a case by case basis. You must be based in or within easy commuting distance of Oxford. Or be willing to relocate. During peak periods, some longer hours may be required.
